Mommy: "Arrest that Woman - she's poisoning my kid!"
I prolly ate the Regular Stuff an dint notice the difference!

KindyGarden Art Class ...
Turned out to NOT be my best subject ...
Assignment: Color in the B&W outline drawing PER Teacher's "suggested" colors ...
Tree = Brown bark
Robin in Tree = Red & sumpin else
Sky = Blue, please
Grass = Green, thank you
An hour later ... Lemmie see, Johnny ...
MY (Color Blind lil Kid's Version) >>>
Tree = GREEN
Robin = Orange and ???
Sky = Purple
Grass = BROWN
OMG! ... Thou shalt NOT **PI$$ OFF** thy KindyGarden Teacher by screwin up
your "Art Project" .... DO IT OVER, Ya lil Dummie!
It was an HOUR after the GOOD Kids left to go home, and I was on my THIRD Revision
of "Burd In Tree" when she admitted defeat and threw me out!
I toddled home with my half-completed Third Edition (wiffa HUGE RED 'X' on it)
and a Nasty Note to give to Mom and bring back "signed" the next day!
Sumpin 'bout "Total Disregard for Instructions and Bad Attitude!"
And believe it or not ... It wasn't till I was a Junior in High School that my
Stage Crew Advisor, Mr. Ramsey, gave me some sage advice ...
"Have your Eye Doctor test you for Color Blindness!"
OMG! How right he was ... Red/Green "deficient" ...
I thought Mr. R was gonna cry!
It was the first year our new School/Community Auditoriun was open, his A#1 Head Boy on the Stage Crew,
Kenny, was a color disaster - Kenny saw Black, White, and Grey ...
and not a smidgen of ANY colors!
Made selecting, cutting, and placing the colored Gelatines for the stage lights
an impossible task for him ... Enter Newbie Johnny ...
Hey Kid ... "Gel" these lights the way the "Lighting Director Kid" has mapped out.
OK, Boss!!
I'd open up the "Gel Cabinet" --- a multi-drawered storage cabinet with
HUNDREDS of differend "shades" of Gelatines - about 3' x 4'.
My job ... "match" a sample colored Gel to the full-sized sheets, and cut the
required number of gels in each color ..., "frame" them, then "Gel the Lights" -
"proper" color in front of a few hundred hanging stage lights ...
I totally screwed up 3 or 4 Shows before I too was "retired" from Gel Duty!
Kenny graduated that year, Mr. R had to put up with my handicap for FOUR Years!
Yup ... I STILL stop for "Flashing YELLOW Lights"!

Oh well, no need to get all confused about it. They taste good no matter what they're called.
