Emotional Swirl

It started with a glow.

Mini Blue turned yellow during breakfast.

“Aw, cheerful,” I said.

Then they turned green during laundry folding.

“Excited?” I guessed.

Then they turned red, purple, and even gray within the same five minutes.

“Oh no,” said Pandy.
“Oh dear,” I said.
“Wheee?” said Mini Blue—possibly sarcastically.

We were officially on…

Mood Mystery Patrol.

Color Clue #1: Snack Time (Orange)

Mini Blue turned orange during snack prep. We ruled it was hunger. Immediate remedy: half a banana and a single ravioli.

Result: color shifted to a mellow blue. Promising.

Color Clue #2: The Missing Puzzle Piece (Red)

We were doing a jigsaw of a duck in a bathtub when Mini Blue turned furious red.

Turns out the last puzzle piece was stuck to my tail.

I offered it back with a formal apology and a cookie. Color returned to pink. (Forgiveness detected.)

Color Clue #3: The Blanket Betrayal (Gray)

Mini Blue tried to burrow into the blanket fort, but it collapsed dramatically.

They turned cloudy gray and sighed.

Pandy gently rebuilt the fort and added a little lamp and a snack cubby.

Mini Blue turned blue-green. Calmer.

Color Clue #4: Final Flip (Rainbow Sparkle)

At the end of the day, we watched the sunset and shared a pile of pillows.

Mini Blue turned… rainbow.
Sparkly rainbow.

“Is that… contentment?” I whispered.

Pandy nodded. “Or a sugar rush.”

We agreed not to question it.

Conclusion:
Mini Blue had a Mood Day. And we had a Feelings Fiesta.

Lesson learned?

• Emotions change.

• Hugs help.

• Snacks always help.

• Colorful friends make every day more interesting.
