Anonymous Coward User ID: 717591 United States 08/03/2009 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Remembering back.... Quoting: DruidWhen I painted things the "wrong" color I was either trying to be different and not one of the group OR... I had issues with the paint or crayons. I remember being forced to stay in at recess with a VERY angry teacher repainting a picture because the grass in it was bluish purple. The fact was, I just didn't know how to mix blue and yellow to make green and the Yellow had been mixed with other colors anyway, so I ended up with brown grass. That was marginally acceptable apparently, but that teacher DID try to have me places in special ed... Luckily my Mother said NO. :) It turns out that my I.Q. was simply off the scale In a positive direction and that the teacher couldn't understand me because I was more intelligent than she was. Go figure! Later, over the course of years, I did learn to paint with the "right" colors and dumb down the things I was saying so that I was understood most of the time. I would have LOVED you! |

Children do not always draw trees blue, are more inspired by the Christmas period Lol [link to www.enyabarbetta.it] |
