Nooks and Crannies

As was customary upon unwrapping popsicles, Libby, Sarah, and I would shout in blurred speech “I declare everything in the world purple (no tradebacks),” basing the asserted color off flavor. Having lost the race for theoretical control over the world’s color scheme, Sarah once pointed out that Libby did not specifically include nooks and crannies. And so Sarah pronounced them green. After deciding in the future to include everything in the world, even the nooks and crannies, I remember looking into the corner of an unused drawer to see if it was purple or green. It was still just wood-colored.
