The brush is my 16.5 year old daughter...strong, red and capable of having a great influence on her two younger brothers. The light bulb is my 14 year old son, beautiful, smart and bright but also very fragile. The carrot is my 11 year old son, my baby, still wonderfully sweet and not trying too hard to leave the page, like his siblings. If anything he is working hard to remain on the page, while the brush and light bulb are flying off.
