Our house overflows with primary colors.

Posted on January 7th, 2010 by heirtoblair

Blair: “I bought a shirt today.”

Nate: “Oh, yeah?”

Blair: “It’s yellow.  I’m not sure how it will look, but I can return it if I hate it.”

Nate: “I like yellow on you.”

Blair: “It’s bright yellow.  Like…baby toy yellow.”

I could have said bright goldish yellow.  Or  the yellow found in kindergarten rooms.  Or even referenced a Sherwin Williams paint swatch.  But no, I picked “baby toy yellow.”  & the worst part is, he knew immediately what color I referred to.

    The best is when you are humming a song and suddenly realize it's a song from one of the baby toys.

    I used to nanny my little nephew and used to get the songs to his toys in my head all of the time. I would catch myself humming them even when I wasn't with him!

    Hey…there's nothing wrong with "baby toy yellow!"

    It's much better than "baby poop green" or "spitup buff".

    haha – I think baby toy yellow is the perfect description for some colors – parent or not you know exactly what shade you're talking about!

    I didn't realize that almost all baby toys are comprised of the same colors until trying to sort through the Christmas aftermath! Our house is also a huge sea of blue, green, red, yellow, and purple. Any toy you pick up will, for sure, have at least 3 of those colors!
    ps. I first found your blog after I too had a miscarriage, I don't really remember how I stumbled upon it, but I've been following since…Your son is gorgeous!

    I only had to look around my living room to reference baby toy yellow. yup. know exactly the hue.

    LOL! It's apparent you're a parent when…..:)

  11. Mrs. Wonder, on January 8th, 2010 at 9:22 am Said:

    Bright, baby-toy yellow is the best! It's my favorite shade of my favorite color.
    Even my car is yellow- but we need to get a bigger one. Soon, so long, my Tweety car.

    I knew what shade of yellow you were talking about right away too!

    I figured it was about time I left a comment, since I think the bloggy link notifications may have already alerted you of my pseudo-bloglove-letter to Blair from last week. Those damn ping/trackback thingies make it difficult to blog-stalk someone.

    But anyway, I just had to say that this post gave me a bad case of the giggles. And I think you should get some uni-sex giraffe yellow in there, stat.
