Thanks a lot Volkswagen. Actually… thanks a lot Volkswagen marketing people.
(For as much as I’m a comedian, Jake is following in my comedic footsteps)
Exhibit A:
Every morning as I take the kids to school I hear Black one… Blue one… and so on. Today was no different… except one thing caught my ear as we rolled along. Oh, I’m used to hearing, “that’s not a Volkswagen Lyndsey” or “that’s not a Volkswagen Rachael that’s a Toyota” or the inevitable “where?” followed by, “right over there” or “it passed us already.” No, I’m used to all that. What caught my ear today was hearing Jake say “Turquoise one… actually it’s more of an Aqua.”
What’s next?
“Green one… no… actually it’s more of a Pine Forest Green”
Exhibit B:
Lyndsey started kindergarten this year and it is customary in the K class (we’ve been through it enough times) that they have a week or so of wearing color clothes. That is to say that Monday is Red day and Tuesday is Brown day and so on. Well that came to a close culminating in Black and White day yesterday, so today was wear whatever you want day… in other words no specific color needed to be worn.
As we’re getting ready to go this morning, Jake is sitting in the family room (as am I) and I’m waiting on Lyndsey to get her socks and shoes on so that I can tie them… it is gym day after all. Anyway, she comes in wearing a sun dress that is a rather bright yellow/lime green kind of color… almost looking florescent. As she walks in, Jake says semi under his breath, “I wonder if it’s highlighter day?"
