Dad! We NEED this finger painting kit! It has 30 colors! That's more than a rainbow!
Dad
I see. Thirty colors. And 3.6 stars out of five. That's like a C+ in Amazon math.
Kid
But DAD, the colors! We can paint everything! We can paint the walls! We can paint the dog!
Dad
You can paint the walls with your hands. No kit required. And the dog? I think we're done here.
