the story behind the colored pencils.
take one semi-controlling color freak mom.
add one artsy third born son.
time to make a title for the science fair project.
i carefully select colors to coordinate with the pictures on the board.
colin selects the pencils as noted above.
i gently try to persuade colin to use the 'correct' colors.
colin gently tells me that these colors are better.
why i ask.
because this is the color of lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice,
water and milk.
because this is the order we did the experiments.
because this matches the liquid photos.
who exactly is the color control freak here?
like mother, like son?
good stuff.
everyday memory.
