"Hi, I'm Tessa."
"Hi, I'm Pencilita."
"Pencilita, everyone is so happy, but you seem sad. Don't you like drawing?"
"Of course I do. It's one of my favorite activities."
"Then what's the matter?"
"The thing is, I actually prefer painting more than drawing."
"But you're a pencil!"
"See, everyone says that. If I'm a pencil, then I should only draw. Because that's the 'normal' thing to do."
"I'm so sorry, I was just surprised. I think it's totally okay if you enjoy painting."
