Art, but Not From Da Vinci
Setting: Kitchen table covered in newspapers, paint brushes and cups of paint sit about
Mom: The three primary colors are red, blue, and green.
Alisa: Hey uh, those aren’t the three primary colors…
Leah: PAINTING!
M: Aren’t you supposed to be identifying participial phrases?
A: Yeah but painting is more fun.
L: I WANT PURPLE!
A: Okay, fine, see if I care when Leah grows up thinking the three primary colors are red, blue, and green…
L: MOMMY THERE’S RED ALL OVER THE FLOOR!
M: What are the primary colors then?
L: EWW IT LOOKS LIKE BLOOD!
A: Red, Blue, and Yellow.
M: Oh yeah, green comes from blue and yellow.
L: LOOK MOMMY! MY FINGERS ARE PAINT BRUSHES!
M: Leah, red, blue, and yellow are called the primary colors. That means we can make all the colors from red, blue, and yellow.
L: I’M MAKING COOKIES!
M: No, we’re painting right now. Green, Purple, and Orange are called Secondary Colors. Leah, what are the primary colors?
L: PAINT!
