It was so important to keep
my box of crayons arranged
exactly like hers,
that I’d only drawn two circles
on my paper at the
end of drawing time.
That was the same day
I got my first wrong answer
in our activity book and
she laughed at me.
“Of the red wheelbarrows,
which two are exactly the same?”
I cried during nap time,
but later in the day
purposely put my red crayon
next to the black one
and told her that
no two wheelbarrows
were EXACTLY the same.
