96 CRAYON BOX SET

    

     Every kid had them or some other sort of bootleg crayon. I honestly prefer Crayola because all other crayons are too waxy and just fudged up my coloring book like whoa.

     My goal in all of elementary school was to own every color that Cryaola made. It wasn’t until the sixth grade I finally got the 96 box set with silver, gold, and those weird techicolor ones.

 

 

     I had them memorized and sorted like a pro. That way, I knew if anything was missing or if the little bastard that shared them with me in class stole, broke, or ate any of them.

 

 

 

 

Pastel and the dull ones were the most used for me.

 

 

 

     After so long that stupid box got torn and my mom said to put them in a carry case. You know, one of those god-awful Spacemaker crappy plastic things. I objected because it would totally throw off my crayonic universe. Instead, I just took sealing tape and reinforced the box…made it all shiny.

     With the box now all spiffy, you’d think I'd be happy again right?

No

My set was going downhill. They were all run down and unchiseled. Well, all except those stupid Technicolor ones, I hated those friggin’ things. All bright and techni-like and they seemed to all be orange (whazupwitdat?).

      Well, anyway, after so long I was loving color pencils and got sick of the box so I tossed the crayons into a drawer.
