Crayons

Husband and I got into a major discussion this weekend about Crayola Crayons. When I say major, I mean we really got some stuff off our chest that had been bothering the both of us since 2nd grade.

Here's what we determined:

• Blue Green vs Green Blue - very confusing and a huge bummer if you chose the wrong one
• Nothing is sadder than a broken crayon
• When some other kid breaks one of your crayons it's even worse
• Nothing is happier than a new box of crayons
• Carnation Pink was lame
• The crayon sharpener on the 64 pack box never worked right
• If a crayon broke in the sharpener is was like a double wammy of pain
• When your niece gets out her coloring book and gives you one full page to yourself, it's still as exciting as it was in 2nd grade.

Husband also asked if I was one of those kids who outlined the picture I was coloring with my crayon and then colored inside the lines. I was shocked he had to ask. Of course I was. I was no savage colorer. Geesh!

Did you ever see this Mr Roger's episode when he follows how a yellow crayon is made? SO GOOD!!!
