Watercolors
When I was 10, we had to paint birds for art class. I was pretty good at art but a girl copied my exact one, even though we had to do different ones and I was not pleased.
She copied not only the color of my bird, but the wing placement and beak color too, so it was obvious that she just glanced over at my desk and did whatever I had chosen to do without thinking twice about it.
When you’re a kid little things like your creative skills mean a lot to your identity, so this felt like the ultimate blow.
So while we were cleaning up paint brushes, (the painted birds were placed nearby), I put her painting in the sink with the tap running, pretended it accidentally fell in there and walked away like nothing happened. I think she got the message. 1470258369
