These Mashed Potatoes Are Bleeding

“These mashed potatoes are bleeding,” the six-year old said.
I looked at them, curiously.  
A white mound with a bit of yellow.
No gravy or ketchup.
A curious observation, I thiought,
pondering it.
“Just go with it, Grandma,” her nine-year-old sister told me.
So I did.
