"They can't all be yours," Elsa complains She looks over at me "Mama—"

"But I wanted the ones with the red tones," Anna co to be all red colors! Hers is pale It won't look right if she takes all the bright scraps" She tries to snatch another piece out of Elsa's hand, but Elsa holds it out of her reach

"No you can't—"

"Yes, I can—"

"Girls!" I snap Most days I can handle the onaway for today? We'll look at it again tomorrow"
