What About Pink

Everything was pink for Zee when she was a child Hot pink, light pink, medium pink, nothing blah or mild Pink bed, pink pillow, pink closet, pink clothes, pink doll If it was not pink, Zee simply did not want it at all Imagine our shock when she joined the military at eighteen Our princess was now a soldier, which was quite unforeseen. She trained to be all black and white, there was no pink or gray. We watched her boot camp video, laughing our guts away. Zee got a corporate job, and rose straight to the top. Her career was the best, it seemed her success would never stop. What about pink? We wondered. Where is the pink now? In her corporate washroom we found a pink toilet, it was a wow. Not only pink, but shaped like an enormous kitty too. You cannot leave yet we’d say; you have to use the loo. Our daughter would roll her eyes, thinking we were crazy. But we all wanted to see the toilet, designed by our Zee.
