Coloring in the lines

Aubrianna used to take great care in coloring and staying in the lines. After being around more kids and seeing them color she tries to color fast and just scribbles. Lately I have been telling her that you are supposed to stay in the lines. This is a picture she colored yesterday and the conversation that we had about it.



When I first saw the picture the sun was not colored.
Me: Wow Aubrianna, you did a good job staying in the lines.
Aubrianna: Thank you momma!
Me: Why didn't you color the sun?
Aubrianna: Oh!

She then found the nearest crayon and quickly colored the sun.

Me: Why didn't you stay in the lines one the sun?
Aubrianna: (shrugs shoulders)
Me: You are supposed to stay inside the lines.
Aubrianna: Right here it says "don't stay in the lines!" (Pointing to the web address at the bottom of the page.)
