My children are wild, my work is crazy, my life is overwhelming at times, but it's all mine, and I love every minute of it! I work as a Financial Aid Advisor, and am the mother to 3-year-old twin girls, Saniya and Saadia, and a 1-year-old boy, Silas. They keep my hands full, my heart over flowing, and everyone entertained! Color Creation
The kids were playing with sidewalk chalk and asking me about how to make new colors by mixing two colors together. When Saadia gave me two colors that didn’t create another color, she wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. This is how the conversation went…
Saadia – What does yellow and purple make?
Me – Nothing really
S – What does yellow and purple make?
Me – It doesn’t really make a color, it will just be a mess…sort of brown, sort of gray.
S – *mixes the two colors* It’s not brown.
Me – I know, I said it’s a mess. It doesn’t really make a color.
S – What does yellow and purple make?
Me – Nothing. It doesn’t make a color.
S – What does yellow and purple make?
Me – Yurple.
S – Oh!!
I love it.
