The youngest crawled into bed
with mom while we were watching videos
he said there were
two types of veins
inside of us.
Blue and green.
And that he wanted his brother
to get out of the pool
because he had blue veins.
he was concerned
that his older brother
would get too cold,
his hands would get shriveled,
and would get slippery.
He said he also had—
blue veins
and that's why he yelled
at his brother to get out of the pool.
But that now—
he has green veins
as he touched his belly
he explained,
why he wanted
his brother to get out of the pool.
His mother told him
that he can just explain next time
that he doesn't want his brother
to get blue veins.
Well, I usually
have green veins
but we watched:
'The last of us'
and Joel just died.
I cried a little along with Ellie
even though he was not a good man
I think he had green veins.
Even if —
they were blue.
