Liberty Blue by Emily Chadwick

The colour Mum chose for the walls is called ‘liberty blue’. I dunno why. Spose it’s meant to represent freedom or some shit?

It’s a living room. Doesn’t need to represent freedom or anything.

What’s wrong with fucking beige, Mum?

Blue is calming, apparently. But why some pretentious middle-class bullshit like ‘liberty blue’?

The name doesn’t matter, it’s a pretty colour.

Bullshit. Would you buy something called ‘shit brown’? Didn’t think so.

Liberty blue.

Sounds like something a celeb would call their kid, then we’d be stuck hearing about darling ‘Libby’ for years to come. Eventually, she’d go by blue, get hooked on cocaine, and we’d have a hundred pics of her falling out of nightclubs with her tits out.

Yep, that’s what you’re having on your wall, Mum. Drunken tits.

Liberty fucking blue.

‘You’re colour blind?’

‘Yeah.’

‘So what colour is that?’

‘Red?’

‘No, it’s Scooter Red.

‘Oh.’

‘Idiot.’

‘That’s a bit harsh.’

‘What colour is that?’

‘Like, grey?

‘Christ, it’s Liberty Blue.’

‘Liberty Blue?’

‘Yeah, like the colour the Statue of Liberty is.’

‘What, grey?’

‘The Statue of Liberty is blue.’

‘No, it’s grey. It’s made of metal or stone or something.’

‘It’s blue! You’re really colour blind.’

‘Yes, I know. But it’s grey.’

‘It’s blue!’

‘Fuck off! I’m wikipediaing it!’

‘Fine, but it’s blue.’

‘No, look at that. It’s grey.’

‘That’s blue.’

‘Shut up! It’s grey!’

‘We can’t agree on this! Your eyes are stupid and can’t see things good.’

‘Oh, wait. Wikipedia says that the Statue of Liberty has turned blue over time because of rust and some other nonsense.’

‘See? It’s blue!’

‘I guess it is.’

‘So you only trust Wikipedia?’

‘Yeah.’

‘Oh. Idiot.’
