The Color "People"

We do a lot of coloring in first grade.

So one day I asked my kids to get out their favorite color crayon. One student held up a peach one and said, "Mrs. Overman, this is my favorite color: it's the color people."

I know Crayola has funny names for colors like "Robin's Egg Blue" and "Macaroni and Cheese," but can you imagine the hits they'd take for naming peach "People"? Wow!

Cute from the mouth of a child, though!

You don't know me, old friend of Deanna, found your blog through hers. We also attend WCC. Anyway, thought that was funny and just wanted to tell you my 2 youngest kids call peach "human skin" color!
