Recent staging area conversation next to my trailer:
"Mommy, why is the farmer putting red shoes on that horsey?"
(The Mom was totally embarrassed, she apologized "She thinks you are a farmer because of the hat!" I really just thought it was funny!)
Hat in question.
Shoes in question.

Horsey in question.
Young child may still need some help with her colors on the boots…MAYBE they're a little red, I think they're pretty orange!
Time for me to dig out the boots after the Spring drought. Mag's taken a few off steps, so I guess it's time for me to start shaving his hooves. It's been so long I doubt they'll fit, we'll see.
ReplyDeleteRed/Orange is a cultural thing, as much as Blue/Purple. And Pink/Violet.
Twice in Germany I've been told by my bosses (2), to "hit the red button" and I looked and saw only grey or orange. They quickly punch the orange and I say, "Oh, you mean Orange."
No idea. They simply have no idea. Two bosses, two jobs, one in the operating room in a hospital, to open the automatic OR door, and one in an English teaching school using colorful software buttons on screen.
I've since learned that naming colors is a cultural thing. That sounds good cuz otherwise I'm surrounded by idiots who cannot differentiate basic primary colors.
interesting about the colors. I really hate red, but orange is great. There is a dividing line that I can but couldn't explain!
DeleteThis farmer wears a hat like that every day! Love Major's personalized feed tub <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI love my straw hats, glad you do too! Major loves the tub too, especially when full!
DeleteI rode an off-the-track Thoroughbred in Golden Gate Park when I was growing up. He had that tongue-hanging thing and a child once looked at him and said, "I didn't know horses had tongues!"
ReplyDeletehehe, that is a good one. (I guess you really don't see their tongue much, except for those special horse!)
