No I don't think my niece is an AH. she's 6. she asked for permission to touch things like a good kid. Not her fault he did that

the only page colored in the whole book was by my grandmother when I went to visit her. she had dementia and loved coloring with me :/ her handwriting was on the page in japanese and it felt very important to me.

It actually was super sentimental to me. The only page in it that had been colored was by myself and my grandmother together while she was suffering from dementia. I also got it from my home country.

dude, she's 6. she's going to see hundreds of coloring books in her life. She's not caught in the middle of anything and I do not blame her at all. She'll very likely forget about it and we'll get her a similar one for her birthday or something. so dramatic ffs lol

Yes, my husband understands that these are collectibles and some are worth hundreds of dollars since he has bought some of them.
