My brother and I are in the black tub. He sits at the back of the tub, splashing, and I sit at the front of the tub, running my hands under the water flowing from the silver faucet. I reach up, and I turn one of the silver knobs all the way to the right. I clamber out of the tub, and stand dripping on the black furry bathmat. Steam begins to rise off the water, floating up towards the white ceiling. The black and white wall tiles start to sweat.
I turn to look at my brother. The water is up to his belly, and he holds his arms up and out in front of him, out of the water. His arms are like skinny white pencils, thin as they are. Then I see pink; his skin is pink on his chest, and his skin is pink on his neck, and his whole face is turning pink. He opens his mouth, and he hollers.
Mom rushes into the bathroom, scoops him out of the tub and wraps him in a black towel. Bathtime is over.
