Jonquils

Today Violet was playing in her cousin Seanie's huge sandbox while Seanie was napping. Gramma Kelley tried to engage her in conversation.
"Hi Violet!" she said.
Violet didn't answer, but kept on digging in the sand and playing with the trucks and cars.
"What are you doing?" Gramma tried again, but again no answer.
"Are you playing with trucks?" Again nothing.
Gramma Kelley tried a different tact. "Violet, do you see those flowers on the hill over there? I think they're jonquils" Violet gave no reply, but kept on digging.
"Violet, Gramma Kelley can't remember what color they are. Do you want to go look at the flowers with me?" Nothing.
"Violet, will you come look with me? I want to see what color they are."
Without looking up from her important digging Violet said, "White and yellow," curt and to the point.
She's serious about her sandboxing.
