My mind flashed back to a time we were fighting over my crayons. I wouldn't let her have any of them, and she went and tattled to Mom. Mom said I had to give her at least one so I gave her white.
I waited for her to figure out what I had done while I silently busted a gut and applauded my evil genius. But she had walked off contentedly and sat down at her white piece of paper to draw me a picture of sugar, salt, and snow.

I'd like to think I'm this little girl whenever someone gives me a "white crayon".
I've read The Cement Garden before reading this book. Sad and kinda sick. I was more entertained by this book, though.
Makes me appreciate my family more so than before.
