Well I just got in from picking my boys up from daycare and as we’re eating popsicles my 3 year old son starts to recite his colors and what each one means.

“Red means stop. Red means hot.

Green means go.

Blue means cold.”

“Mama, what does white mean?”

I hesitate a minute. “White means clean.” I say timidly.

“What does black mean?” he asks trying to find a correlation.

“Black means………..”

Damn.

“Let’s go sit down and eat our popsicles,” I say and he forgets his question, for now.
