lesson learned.

Look out world, day 4 here I come!

When I was a little girl both my parents worked full time. So, I frequently spent time with my Grandma. She liked to teach me little "lessons" every day. I guess she felt like teaching me was her job. I learned things like "red means stop, green means go, yellow means slow down", "leche is spanish for milk" and "hola is hello".

However, one of these little lessons that has always stuck with me is a lesson we did on coloring. I was trying to color around the picture, adding my own artistic touches. I also suck at coloring in the the lines of a picture to this day so I didn't really rock at it then. Grandma walked over to me and said "Brooke you have to try to color in the lines, Cast's color in the lines". And I have found in later years that statement a little... well interesting. I don't think a big long explanation is required as to why. All I have to say is, here's to those of us who like to color outside the lines. Keep on coloring.
