Butterflies, Raccoons, and Colors

Niall and I were reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which leads up tensely to an exciting ending.  The ending is the protagonist’s metamorphosis.  I sound like a literary snob.  No, the protagonist doesn’t undergo an emotional restructuring (presumably).  The character literally metamorphoses.  It’s a caterpillar.  Hence the title.

We get to the last page and Niall, who has been building in excitement, shouts out “And a BUTTERFLY comes out of the raccoon!”

Another quick one.  Niall and I were in the car, stopped at a light.  He shouts impatiently from the back seat “The light is red!  Go!”
