There was a kid who saw the world in black and white and grey and who found joy in playing a game called 'guess'.

In their monthly colour-themed party, our kid would grab his best friend and whisper in his ear, 'Let's play Guess'.

His friend would point at a girl in a blue tutu and say 'guess'.

Our kid would squint his eyes, analyze the grey of her dress and pick out places it became black or white and say 'Pink!'.

His friend would congratulate him profusely for a valiant effort, then shake his head and say 'Don't you see the way her dress resembles the sea? That shade of blue is too blue to be anything else'.

They would move on to the next person, and the next, and laugh all the way.

Now, the party demanded the children wear a tag stating the colour of their dresses– mostly for the benefit of two kids who saw the world in black and white.

Our kid and his friend, having exhausted all attendees, would stare at each other and squint.

'Okay, guess,' his friend would say.

'Purple of course!' Purple is his friend's favourite colour and the chance of his shirt being another colour was slim.

'I knew it! You're neat at this!'

After a bout of excited squeals and highfives, his friend would say 'my turn'.

'Guess'.

'You're wearing green!'

Because green is our kid's favourite colour and the colour of his outing shirts.

'You sure that's what I'm wearing?' Our kid would tease, knowing his friend would falter. They had made it a rule to pull out their tags at these events because alphabets changed shape when our kid looked at them and it was fun to actually test his best friend's skill.

His best friend would squint at his shirt, noting the grey, the black, the white and the familiar hue of wanness.

'Yes, green.'

'Correct!'

Thus two children who see the world in black and white and grey would add colour to the world with their squints and their laughter, hand in hand and tags in pockets.
