"COLOR THEORY"



wt: "hey momma, how do you get black hair? do you have to eat a bunch of seaweed? 'cause that's what uncle wade said and that's how aunt reika got her black hair 'cause when she was little they kept feeding her seaweed..."

db: "well, if you eat seaweed to get black hair, then what do you eat to get blonde hair?"

wt: "i don't know..."

ar: "wil, think about it. what's the opposite of seaweed?"

wt: (thoughtful pause) "bananas?"

ar: "well, there you are! seaweed grows UNDER the water, and bananas grow ON trees, and seaweed is green and bananas are yellow, so they're opposites. actually, it's probably tangerines, 'cause there's nothing in tangerines that you can mix to get green."
