When I was about six, I had a friend visiting from Miami that really liked a certain purple bracelet I had. On the day she was leaving, she asked me for it, and I wanted to give it to her, but I only had one of them. I thought I would be clever, keep mine, and make a duplicate for her...in my grandparent's copy machine. Much to my dismay that this huge machine only gave me a black and white picture of the purple bracelet. My friend wasn't impressed. Sadly, Xerox machines are not omnipotent. But I really thought it would work.
