Well now, haven’t you got the prettiest shell? So smooth and glossy, bright and slick, And so unique! So different from everyone else! Although… Are you sure about pink? Doesn’t seem right Not green! It doesn’t suit you! You don’t want black! Too boyish! That much red?! What an eyesore! Oh, don’t look so blue! We’ll get this right You know the young ones always look darling Always pure white, they look so angelic Wouldn’t you want to be more like them? It was only a suggestion dear! Don’t storm off in a strop! What’s wrong with you? Think outside the box? Why would you need to? I’m sorry darling, I guess you just - I guess it just doesn’t...feel like you You know, I think we’ll just paint it for you! How about a nice white? Maybe grey or beige Oh, no dear grey is too ugly… How about charcoal, a nice dark shell yes? You’ll blend right in! There we go! That is much better! It’s perfect this way You’re perfect this way.

Painted Shell
