Age-Old Argument, by Tammy Mezera

Spring came, every tree birthed blue leaves. The news warned people not to touch the trees. A woman observed a squirrel climbing one and it turned orange. She thought it peculiar and touched the tree, turning purple from head to toe. She asked her husband to touch the tree. He did and turned completely yellow. When the CDC arrived, they asked them why they did that. The man said, 'blame it on her, Adam did'. She said, 'It worked too, for all I've been through I have never seen him sweat a day in his life from work'.
