One of the funniest things about watching Martha Stewart is seeing her when she has kids as guests on her show. Her usual general disdain for all humanity seems to be magnified when she has to deal with the little tykes.
Yesterday, she was making doughnuts, and apparently some mothers won a contest that allowed their children to be on the show with Martha. You could practically see the wisps of steam coming from her ears when the kids didn’t do what she expected.
Particularly funny was when she held up two bottles of food coloring, one red and one yellow, and asked in her best “I love the little darlings” voice, “What color do these two colors make when you mix them together?” She got a succession of good-natured guesses from the two young girls (including “turquoise”), and with each wrong guess, Martha seemed more and more intent on squeezing the right answer out of them. At last, mercifully, the older one “got it” and said timidly, “orange?”
I think if the girl hadn’t come up with the right answer, they would still be there to this day, grimly reciting colors like Christina Crawford contemplating her plate of raw meat.
Every day, I am closer and closer to becoming? The Martha. I watched that show and was actually yelling at the TV: ?Purple!? Purple? You?re, like, nine years old! You should know your damn color wheel! I learned that in the first grade! Turquoise? This is just getting worse??
