WHY WASN'T MY NAME ON THE COLOUR CHART!?
Hello. This is my first post! Yay!
There is a colour chart pinned up on the kitchen wall. It has been there since I was eight. To me, they are as familiar to me as nursery rhymes and I always fall asleep to the list of colours. Everytime I look at it I can see Indigo, my brother, and Rose and Caddy's "colours" almost immediately. But not mine. Even if I looked over and over again, I can't find my name on that chart! When I asked my family to help me find it, Caddy was busy painting her hamster's feet, Rose kept screaming.A health visitor came to our house and kept asking Mum how she keeps her patience. It made me quite annoyed. Everyone was ignoring me even though I kept asking them to help me find my name on the colour chart.
I do not know why but when the health visitor asked if I knew about "it", the whole house became quiet. When I questioned Mum and the health visitor, they just said it was nothing. But I was still quite suspicious.
Rose kept sucking on this paint which was apparently Caddy's Yellow Ochre non-toxic paint. At least when the health visitor left, Mum gave Rose a crust of bread and she became quiet again, fortunately.
I asked Mum why my name was not on the chart before bedtime, but she just said that Saffron was a lovely colour and told me that her late sister had named me Saffy.
That night, I kept having dreams of sunny place which was quiet and enclosed. There were little pointed trees and I could hear the sound of water. Caddy did not remember it, but she did say it was not her, it was me. This to me is terribly confusing. I mean, why isn't my name on the colour chart when all my other siblings are. And why was I the only one whose name was chosen by Mum's sister? This is very strange. I got to go, will post more later.
Love, Saffy.
