Green Means Go

Molly:  *running around the house, being noisy, driving me crazy*
Me:  Molly, calm yourself.  Please stop running.
Molly:  *continues running*
Me:  *putting out a hand to stop her* Stop.  What color is your skirt?
Molly:  White!
Me:  No, your skirt, not your shirt.
Molly:  Oh.  Red!
Me:  Good job.  And what does red mean?
Molly:  Red means stop!
Me:  Exactly.  So you have to stop running.
Molly:  But I want to run.
Me:  *shrugging*  Too bad.  You're wearing red.  You have to stop.
Molly:  *picking up a green toy*  But look!  This is green!  And green means go! *takes off running again*
