    Poor couch 😥

    One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.

      I had very constructive arguments about this with my grandma :

      • Can you fetch one the green tiles ?
      • What green tile ? You only have blue ones.
      • Goes to fetch it herself. See ? A tile, and it’s green.
      • But it’s clearly blue…
      • I don’t know what you mean, can’t you see that it’s green ?
      • I can see very clearly that it’s blue.
      • No this is green, this is blue, and the tile is closest to green.
      • It isn’t though, it’s definitely closest to blue.
      • A while later
      • This is pointless… Let’s just call it turquoise.
      • Turquoise it is.
      • The next time
      • Your new oven mittens are quite nice, the blue goes well in your kitchen.
      • They are green…

      The answer to that question is “no”.
      It’s turquoise. You wouldn’t argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.
