A tiny purple partical tragedy

This is really quite a dumb story, but
Yesterday morning during her bath Ella started crying and screaming hysterically. When I finally calmed her down enough to understand what she was screaming about. I found out that she had lost a tiny purple thing, (no larger than a grain of sand.) Amazingly, we found it after letting the water out, and Ella was happy again. She carried it everywhere that morning until Tyler finally convinced her to put it in a safe place, so it wouldn't get lost.Well, it did get lost again, and Ella was completely freaking out about it. I looked everywhere for it, but had no luck. Finally I was tired of all the yelling, so I got a little purple cake decorating sprinkle out for Ella. She was not satisfied. The sprinkle was "too big," and not "bright enough". (See fuzzy picture above.) I told her we would have to paint it later, cause I just didn't feel like getting all the painting supplies out just to paint a tiny little sprinkle. I guess Tyler was tired of all the screaming about a tiny little purple thing too, so he went and got the purple paint and peeled a tiny little piece from the bottle. Ella was as happy as could be again. In fact, she was so happy about the little purple paint chip that Tyler "made" she wants him to make one for all her friends. So, if you're a friend of Ella, I'm sure you will be looking forward to getting a tiny little purple paint chip from her.
