What Color is "Yella"?




I am a mother to two very energetic and lively boys; that is about all they have in common.  My oldest son, Jaden, is extremely intelligent, but the only thing on his mind is video games, comic books and lasagna.  He could careless about what he learned at school. His favorite classes are "library and lunch".  Jet differs in that he has a great desire to learn new things in school and to be the very best in his class.  He comes home daily and shows me his "happy face" and the "nice job" written on his paper by his teacher.  Jet loves to come home and tell me everything he learned; from gray squirrels don't hibernate to George Washington was our first president.

Recently, when I picked Jet up from school he looked very perplexed. I asked him what the matter was and he said "I just don't know. I don't think I'm the smartest in the class anymore"  I replied, "What don't you know?  Why would you think that?"  He walked away lost in thought.  He finally returned and told me what was on his mind, "Mommy, what color is "yella"?  The boy at school keeps asking for the "yella" crayon.  I don't know what color it is."

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE living in Kentucky?
