How do you make paint?

My oldest asked me yesterday morning on the way to school "Mama how do you make paint?" I had to tell her that I had no idea but that we could ask a friend of ours who works for Benjamin Moore or look it up on the net. My son told us that he knew how they make paint. He told us and was totally serious that you take crayons, remove the papers, place the crayons in a bowl in a microwave or oven, and then melt them - and there you have paint. Maggie tried to tell him that is not how you do it and he said it was and got a little snappy with her. I just simply laughed to myself and cherished another moment with my kids.
