What color rainbow would you be if you were a rainbow?
The Many Colors of Rainbow
May 2007, walking around the neighborhood T:Dad, what kind of sign would you be if you were a traffic sign? Dad: A red light. T:Me too, dad. Dad: What is your reason? T:First you. Dad: I asked you first. T:Because you said red lights are better than stop signs. Dad: Did I? T:Yes. You said people get confused with stop signs. But, with a red light they know what to do. Dad: That’s right. I did. T:Why they don’t change all stop signs to red lights? Dad: Red lights are more expensive? T:Oh!What color would you want to be if you were a rose dad? Dad: Red. T:Me, Pink. Dad: Sure! that is your favorite color. T:Lavender is my favorite too. Dad: That’s a fancy way of saying purple, isn’t it? T:No dad! It’s not purple. It’s pinkish purple. Dad: Where did you hear that? T: I don’t remember. What would you be if your were an animal? Dad: I am an animal. T: Seriously, dad! Be serious. Dad: I am. Man is an animal. T: What is wrong with this guy? I mean an animal like a dog or a falcon, or a squirrel; that kind of animal. Dad: A circus animal. T: What kind dad? What kind of an animal? Dad: A horse, an elephant, I’m not sure. An elephant, I suppose. T: I would be a falcon. Dad: A falcon. T: Did you know falcons can fly without flapping their wings? Eagles too! Dad: Most birds do. Most birds dive. T: But falcons have long wings and they can glide longer. Dad: Do you like to fly? T: I’d love to fly. Dad, what color rainbow would you be if you were a rainbow? Dad: A rainbow? A rainbow has all sorts of colors; every color that ever existed. T: How do they make rainbows? Dad: Rainbows are made by nature. Usually, immediately after rain - when rain stops – and sun comes out, sun rays that shine through water particles and droplets create colorful beams. You only see them if the sun is behind you. I can make a rainbow you know? T:They are made by nature. Dad: I mean I can show and demonstrate the process in which a rainbow is made. T: I can draw a rainbow. Dad: I can too. T: Can a rainbow have black color? Dad: Black is not a color. You will not see black in a rainbow. T: What is wrong with this guy? I have many black pencils, and black markers and black paper. What is wrong with this guy? Dad: I love you. You’re the funniest and the sweetest artist I’ve ever known. We’re home. Let’s go wash up and you draw me a rainbow. T: Let’s go.
Minutes later
T: Here dad; For you. Dad: Love it! Can this monkey see the rainbow, though? T: No! Dad: Do you know why? I tell you why. For the monkey to be able to see the rainbow, he has to stand with his back to the sun. T: He does not want to see the rainbow. He just wants to be part of my project.
