Pink Sky

This morning when I woke up, the sky- all of it- was bright fuschia pink! It was beautiful. I tried to wake up little Miss Haana to watch the sky with me, but in vain. It lasted for only a few minutes; and by the time the little girl woke up, everything was back to usual blue.

I told the little girl - my voice laced with excitement- Gugu do you know what happened this morning? Do you know?
Eyes that were open only a slit, instantly opened wide. She shook her head and said "Noo".
"This morning, the sky was bright bright pink!", I exclaimed. "Just like your favorite color, pink is sky's favorite color too! It was just like a princess castle all over, did you know!"
But my excitement was going to go bust.
She said "No, my favorite color is rainbow sparkles, and blue sparkles and pink sparkles, golden sparkles and also silver sparkles". I tried valiantly again, "But Gugu, the whole sky was all bright pink just like a princess castle!".
"Oh, that's just like twilight sparkles! Do you know twilight sparkles is all bright pink too, but it also have a white cutie spot. Did the sky have a white cutie spot too?"
I didn't remember there being any.
Sadly twilight sparkles won out in comparison! Then little Miss Haana told me the sky turns pink and purple at night, and at that time, it's called twilight.

Oh well, I'm not a sore loser, so I proceeded to my next game plan- the Tickle Test. Figuring out which points on little Miss Haana's little body are ticklish. Turns out - she's ticklish just about everywhere!
