I was surprised at just how common it was for people to have experienced shame or discomfort with secretly, or not so secretly, liking something that was traditionally associated for their opposite gender. I try not to talk about the books I'm writing (for fear of jinxing them), but I did talk about this one, just to get my friends' takes on it. What was one of the most surprising things you learned while writing this book? I was struck, how even now, people-and even children-could see colors as gendered. The look on her face, knowing that she was unable to get a rise out of him was priceless, and you can be sure I made sure she knew I'd heard what she'd said, too.
To my great surprised he looked at the girl, looked at his wrist, and then walked away. One of the girls confronted one of the boys by trying to make fun of the fact that he was wearing a "girl color." I couldn't believe what I was hearing (and that I was the only adult hearing it), and waited to see how the boy would react. In order for the staff to differentiate the partygoers from the regular crowd, all of the party guests were issued pink wristbands to wear. There were about 15 girls and two boys in attendance. I was at a birthday party for twin girls at an ice skating rink. What was your inspiration for writing this particular story?
