J: Mom, which of these would you say is more beige? (He shows me two blue crayons. He is coloring in squares of math problems on a bunch of pages that you put together to form one big image.)

Me: Neither. 

J: What? 

Me: Those are blue. Beige is a light brown. A grey-tan, kind of.

J: Oh no! I made a really big mistake! Oh. Man. (He slides his hand down his face.) I thought beige was a kind of blue. 

(He is part of a school project where each kid colors a sheet then the are going to put them together to make a big Disney picture.) 

J: Oh well, I guess that fairy’s face will just be blue. Oh man.
