Morning color

Dad: I don’t know about this shirt, Alice, it has a big spot on the front.

Alice: That’s a heart!

Dad: Isn’t that supposed to be inside you?

Alice: It’s not a real heart, it’s just a picture.

Dad: You have a picture of a heart inside you?

Alice: No! I have a real heart inside me and a picture on my shirt. See, it has pink.

Dad: Ah.

Alice: Real hearts have red. So pink hearts are fake.

Dad: What about pink Alices?

Alice: I’m not pink!

Dad: [holds out Alice’s arm] What color is that, then?

Alice: That’s peach. Peach Alices are not fake.

Dad: Ah.
