true colors

caught a glimpse of someone's watch over a counter...

me:  'is that pink or red?'

girl raises her arm...

me:  'oh...  fuchsia...'

girl:  'yes...  fuchsia...'

me:  'spell...'

girl:  'just make it pink...'

me:  'hehe...  red is easier...'

we both chuckle...

me:  'tip...  'fuchsia' is F, U, C, H, S, I, A...  fook-sia...  but you pronounce it fyusha...  a lot of people misspell it 'fuschia'...  they put the 's' before the 'ch'...  the 'ch' should come first and it's silent...'

girl:  'oh...  okay...  so this is fuchsia pink...'

haha...  color outside the lines...  ; )
