Stonegate and Bronze Statue

Over the past few months, we’ve been doing a lot of home construction. Our treks to Home Depot are pretty frequent. One week I went to the Depot three times a day. After a while, I think they thought I was shoplifting.

So, on one of our numerous trips to the Depot, I elected to stay in the car. Daddy Bunny took the Bunny in. They must have stopped near the paint department, because when she came out, she had a bunch of paint sample cards. Most were vibrant and from Disney, but two were from Ralph Lauren. She handed me a pretty copper color card.

Bunny: Mommy, this is for you.

Mommy Bunny: Thanks, Bunny. It’s so pretty.

Bunny: Yeah. It matches your eyes.


I checked in the mirror. The color wasn’t a close match—it was an exact match. I was floored. She then handed Daddy Bunny a card that matched his eyes.

Daddy Bunny and I discussed the incident later. If you put a gun to my head and told me to pick out the paint color that matched my eyes, without being able to compare it, I don’t know if I would have been able to do it. Yet, Bunny went in the store, and picked out two paint samples without a reference—and nailed it.

The Bunny never ceases to amaze.
