I spy with my little eye…

UPDATED:

You guys are good!

The list indeed is a standard box of 24-count Crayola classic crayons.

And I know this was one of my most pointless posts ever.

But the other day, I was putting things away in Seth’s room, and I realized he’d dumped out an entire box of crayons.  As I put them back in the box, I stopped to take note of the colors.

I found it slightly humorous that mixed in with the all-too-common red, orange, black, and green were indigo, cerulean, dandelion, and scarlet.

And how like life is that?

You know how one of the questions on a personality evaluation test will ask you “if you were a crayon, what color would you be?”

I never know how to answer that, and I think that’s okay.  Because I don’t think it matters.  Because every day that I’m just plain old yellow, somebody else is the more flamboyant dandelion.  And when I’m scarlet, somebody else is having a plain ol’ red day.

And isn’t that what makes the world such a beautiful place?

***********

green, blue violet, scarlet, dandelion, yellow orange, red violet,
yellow, red orange, gray, yellow green, orange, blue, blue green, violet, red, violet red, green yellow, indigo, black, white,
brown, cerulean, carnation pink, and apricot

Anybody want to guess what that list is?

I’ll update this post with the answer tomorrow.

C’mon, humor me with your guesses, and be as specific as possible!

I *heart* pointless posts. LOL I always say "Copper" on those things b/c it was my absolute FAVORITE when I was a little girl. Every drawing I ever did had at least one streak of copper in it...usually right next to silver...and violet. LOL Sounds kinda like my paintint style, too!
