Welcome to another blog hop. Today’s topic is:
People are like a box of crayons. Which crayon would you say that you are?
Hmm… I’d say I’m more like the yellow one. Yellow is my favourite colour for a start, and as a kid I’d always pick a yellow pencil out of the box first. It reminds me of sunshine and all things positive, and over the years I’ve come to realise I’ve been blessed with a positive outlook on life. I also used to colour everybody’s hair yellow in all my pictures, because yellow hair is what I always wanted for myself (however, I had exactly the opposite, lol).
If there’s no yellow crayon in the box… not to worry, I’d pick the green one. Green is soothing, and speaks to me of forests, trees, and meandering paths I’ve taken through woodland to avoid the yellow rays of the sun in the height of summer.
I hardly ever used the black or grey crayons.
Now the box of crayons has been re-visited, as I often sit with my granddaughter and colour in pictures. She chooses some music, and we colour and sing at the same time, well, as much as I can sing. She’s used to my croaky voice, and we’ll chat about this and that in-between singing. Try it… colouring and singing is a very pleasant pastime.

I chuckled at coloring people’s hair yellow. Lol, I did that too! 🙂 Sheesh, honestly, I think I’d need a whole pack to go with whatever the mood. Typically, I love purple and fuschia. 🙂 xx

Blue. Light blue. I went through a phase where I outlined the already black outlines with black. How stupid was that? And once in First Grade we were assigned to color a robin in class. I did, except for the gray parts I used a pencil with varied pressure. The teacher called my parents for a conference. I think the original intent concerned me being a polite student, but on the robin assignment I didn’t follow directions. My father held up the picture, asked the teacher Does this look like a robin and wasn’t that the assignment? Well, yes. So how is this not following directions? I suppose had I turned in a totally monochrome robin it would have been different…

Good for your dad for speaking up for you. Many kids wouldn’t have thought of colouring it in like that.

Wonderful thought – you chose the yellow one because it reminded you of sunshine and positivity.

I would probably be a blue crayon. I used to colour a lot of things blue when I was a child.
Best wishes, Pete.
