Debra She Who Seeks said...: I remember the days when I couldn't have that big box of crayons because it was too expensive. I see from the ad it was a whole dollar!; February 26, 2013 at 11:07 AM
Paladin said...: Heh... yeah, my folks wouldn't spring for the big box either. I wanted one every year, but not because of the extra colors. Truth be told I wanted it because of the BUILT IN SHARPENER!!!

Cutting edge crayola technology and it was just out of my reach.; February 26, 2013 at 11:15 AM
Jordan said...: I liked how the 1970s 64-color-boxes (with sharpener) had those subversive, beckoning arrows, corrupting the youth: "Hey, kid...come around back...come into the alley with me...built-in sharpener!"; February 26, 2013 at 11:52 AM
Kal said...: I was eventually seduce by Burnt Sienna which was really just another brown crayon.; February 26, 2013 at 1:59 PM
Belle said...: I once got one of those big boxes for Xmas. Loved it, especially the pale purple color.; February 26, 2013 at 3:01 PM
Unknown said...: Brown is for tree bark, but Burnt Sienna is for poop...because it's got that twinge of yellow in there.; February 26, 2013 at 3:53 PM
Kal said...: But you can always use the YELLOW crayon to make your poop the perfect color. You are just spoiled with all your fancy shades of color. 12 colors are all that you kids need...consarnit!!; February 26, 2013 at 6:32 PM
M. D. Jackson said...: If you know what you're doing, all you need is four colors.; February 27, 2013 at 6:06 AM
Kal said...: Thanks for giving me another reason to only give a child 12 colors. What are they bitching about? I have allowed them EIGHT extra colors. Kids in India are making do with four (which four? Primary and Gold?) And any kid that needs a sharpener for a crayon also needs to wear a helmet everywhere they go.; February 27, 2013 at 6:51 AM

Kal said...: Are you making my point?; February 27, 2013 at 7:02 AM
