That's a little weird. There were two chairs and two Dads, but one room. And many, many, many...many crayons. (And some more crayons.)

Girlfriends from way back and wives from way forward. We even get to the bottom of the Crayola crayon hyphen thing. Is Blue-green bluer or greener? Listen, and you'll find out. Even better, watch YouTube link here . And now a word from our sponsors. (Well, not really sponsors, just places we get books and hope that you'll go to if you need one).
