The box effect

I shared my first box of crayons in 2nd grade.

These were my special crayons. 

I mean come on, it's not every day that you get a 48 pack. 

The colors in there were like none others. 

Jazzberry Jam

Marconi and Cheese

Banana Mania

                                                                          Inchworm

Wild Blue Yonder

Purple Mountain's Majesty 

Tickle Me Pink

Mauvelous 

And not even one of them had been used. 

Then the teacher comes along thinking she is the boss and tells me I need to share my crayons. 

The nerve. 

It was the most awful 10 minutes of my life. 

Hands everywhere plucking the perfect organization to nothingness. 

All for a stupid coloring page. 

My anger was razzmatazz and unmellow yellow fused together

My precious crayons ruined. 

My 8 year old self couldn't handle the trauma. 

From that day on I vowed to never share my crayons again.
