an early morning conversation about crayons

Early morning stuff:
"Mom, what is the difference between violet-red and red-violet?"

"Nothing-they are the same."

"Then why do I have one crayon that says red-violet and another that says violet-red?"

"Um-well, maybe one has more red and one has more purple?"

"well why don't they call it purple then?"

"Well violet is a slightly different shade than purple."

"Oh."
Hehe.
