Splatter Paint Collaborative Short

SENTENCE: When a child their 5th year he or she  is given 5 buckets of different colored pain and a canvas. They are then left alone for three hours. When the parents return the child is expected to have drawn a painting. The way to determine your mirrosia is to find your matching birth painting.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT: There are a few grammatical errors with this sentence because of subject/pronoun disagreement(child with they). I also didn't like the choppiness of the sentence(they are left alone for three hours. When the parents return...). I also didn't like the 5th year thing, I think it flows much better to just say 5.  

CORRECTION: When children turn 5, they begin the ritual to find their mirrosias. The parents are to slip away from the children for three hours, leaving them with only 5 buckets of paint and a canvas. The children are expected to have painted something by the time the parents return. When two children paint the same thing, they are said to be mirrorsias.  

MORAL: Even when you think you are connected to a person, there is always the possibility that you are not.

I agree with this moral because it proves that you should always be on your guard even if it is someone you think you know.  There may be a person you think is your friend, but you can never really be sure. There is always the idea of "fake" where someone may be pretending to be something they are not, and you must always look out for that possibility. 

QUOTES THAT PROVE THIS:

Dashean, my spiritual partner, called a Mirrosia(Mee-Roh-See-Ah) believes we are lucky to have found each other. (You can see she trusts him and there is also a false sense of happiness from the other character[they are lucky to have found each other])

I then got a good look at the figure standing over my bleeding body, it was Dashean. (This proves that she should have kept her guard up. She had no idea that the one who was dubbed her spiritual partner, would turn out to be responsible for her death.)
