“Hi, Mom, this is Zoe. Ummm, there is a color of paper here? And, ummmmm, when I look at it… my eyes? Ummm, I just get a really, really, really, really bad headache? And I accidentally looked at the paper? And now, ummm, I just have a really, really, really, really bad headache, and so I was wondering if you could come and pick me up… Ok, bye bye.”

**beep**

“Hi, Mom, this is Zoe again? Umm, I still have a really, really, really bad headache from looking at the paper, and so I was wondering if you could come and pick me up right away. Ok. Bye bye.”

(I’m wondering what color makes my child’s brain hurt so badly. I hope it’s not pink, or her life will be over. Also — for the love of her brain — I hope she can stop accidentally looking at it.)

2. Oh no, please not pretty pretty princess pink! Oh, and let’s hope this isn’t one of those random “attention seeking” Gale mystery illnesses…allergies to funky paper colors…

3. Oh my, another good laugh. I hope she’s recovered. I have TOTALLY done that (and it WAS pink!)

4. WOW! Your family is bound to be published in a medical journal soon. Seriously. Hope you can find the offending color soon and banish it. I hope it’s not pink too. That would just be too big of a sacrifice!
