When I think of the word colored, I think of the small box of Crayola crayons with the pointy sticks peeking out of the box at me. As a child, I enjoyed drawing images, using as many of the colored sticks as possible. Even though the boxes included only such basic shades as black, white and brown, I loved using them to share images from my world.
Now that I am an adult, I look back on that small box of Crayola crayons and smile. While I still enjoy using them, now I have the JUMBO box of crayons with every color imaginable. I even have colors that actually match the various shades of brown that make up human skin color. In 2011, I am proud to live in a society where our children know that the word colored is for crayons.
