DAILY SNACK

“Hey, check it out!”

We’ve just had dinner at a restaurant

And Colum is sticking his index finger into a bowl of jello.

“When you put things into blue jello,

They turn blue, too!”

I love the way he is able to arrive at a universal rule

From a particular instance.

(Even if that is not technically sound logic.)

He didn’t say that his finger was blue,

He said that things will turn blue.

And then,

He pulled his finger toward himself

And sent the jello flying onto the floor.
