Throwback quiz…
Grandsons 1, 3, 4 are riding in the truck with The Rookie. The discussion was about colors, where the story picks up with the fourth exchange to save time:
Grandson 1: “White is a shade of black.”
The Rookie: “No, black is absence of color, white is all colors mixed together.”
Grandson 1: “No it’s not.” (this is disagree #5 in the discussion)
The Rookie: “Dude, I have engineering degrees. I know about colors and light.”
Grandson 1: “Clearly you are wrong!”
The Rookie: (starts laughing)
Grandsons 1, 3, 4: (together start laughing the same way The Rookie is laughing. Could have been mocking. :-) )
Grandson 1: “Look it up!”
The Rookie: “I don’t have to look it up, but when we get stopped, I will look it up for you.”
After stopping, The Rookie looks it up. For the record, a shade of a color is that color mixed with black. Black is the absence of color, white is all colors mixed together.
And now for the quiz… which ancestor would have also said in a similar discussion “Clearly you are wrong!”? Hint: There could be multiple correct answers. :-)
