I hold the crayon to the mirror, ready to swipe it across my reflection\u2019s neck just as my husband, Tomas, instructed. Make a quick horizontal line, then break the crayon against the glass. Snap it like you would your reflection\u2019s neck.\xa0I\u2019ve chosen the shade closest to my skin tone because it feels fitting for the occasion, the brown that I\u2019d had to explain to our kindergartener was not \u201cthe skin color\u201d crayon. Not everyone has skin as dark as ours, and some have darker. I imagine similar conversations in other households, about other crayons. \xa92023 by Katherine Quevedo.
