Summary: Why is the sky blue? Response to
supernatural100 challenge #127 blue AND
100_ghosts week #5 prompt "blue."
Dean’s four when he starts asking “why” questions. “Why is the sky blue?” is his favorite. John tries to remember high school science and light refraction, but Mary’s explanation has sunshine and fluffy clouds and rainbows and is just perfect for a curious little boy.
Three years later, when Sam starts asking the same questions, “Why is the sky blue?” is at the top of the list. John tries to remember what Mary told Dean, but the answer is long since lost in the smell of smoke and miles of road, and Sam has to settle for “It just is.”
