In your whole life, how many hours do you think you've spent...?

Question

coloring in a coloring book? Sometimes when I'm stressed out, I'll say to my 3 yr old, "Hey, you wanna color?" After a page or two, I always feel better.

Answer 1

More than 1000, I'm on a misson.

Answer 2

Oh my gosh I love to color.  I color with my 4 year old and I used to color when I was out to sea and on a mid-watch and had no one to talk to (in the Navy).  I think it is a great stress reliever.

Answer 3

2 days

Answer 4

I am 23 years old, with no kids, and I still like to color when I get stressed out! It just relaxes me I guess.....makes me feel like a kid again with no problems! There's nothing wrong with adults who like to color! lol :)

Answer 5

40 probably, but hey that will be extended

Answer 6

I have spent about 1040 hours in my lifetime coloring in a coloringbook.

whether it's using markers, crayons, or colored pencils.

Answer 7

20, maybe 30.

Bonus Bill Art Moment:  I remember freaking my kindergarten teacher out during painting.  She thought I was depressed because I was painting an entire sheet of paper black.

No, we were just out of black construction paper and I wanted black for something else I was making.

Answer 8

In my early years i took at least 1 hour a day in kindergarden

Answer 9

That's awesome therapy!  Great idea!  

I'm sure I haven't spent enough hours in my lifetime coloring but Thanks for pointing that out.  I still have many years to put in some coloring time!

Answer 10

about 3yrs in all =]]

Answer 11

Can't say how many hours, but thank's for the idea. I'm really stressed out at work (I'm in customer service!), I'll try anything to relieve the stress so I won't take it out on my boyfriend...

Answer 12

Not enough, but hopefully I can have a child someday soon to color with... Until then - can I join you?  

HA!  Good advice!
