SUMMER I hate it because it's the color of my hair. MINDY You hate the color of your hair? SUMMER No! Granny Newbold loves my blond hair and she thinks I look pretty in yellow, so she buys clothes for me that match my hair. She always gives me tons of yellow clothes and I'm sick of them! And Mom says it would be mean to tell Granny Newbold I hate yellow clothes! MINDY Ohhh, I see! SUMMER So I give them all to Tasha. MINDY Why do you give them to Tasha? SUMMER 'Cuz she loves yellow an' she's poor. Mom says you should give stuff to poor people."
