    I had fun with my family looking at this last night. We were split three to one, I was the only one who saw white/gold. I think it is a great example of the power of social media, how quickly it went viral.

    The tech/screen aspect of it made me consider how my kids use screen based apps to learn. If I'm telling them to point to the white bunny, or the blue bird, and they stare blankly at me, maybe I don't automatically assume that I have failed as a parent :)

    I agree with Braheem - just shoot me (but I still see that dress as white & gold....and I'm ducking right now).
