Life is like a box of crayons

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you’re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I’ve got a few missing. It’s okay though, because I’ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who’s an 8-color type…I’m like, "Hey girl, magenta!" And she’s like "Oh, you mean purple?" And she goes off on her purple thing, and I’m like, no-I want magenta."

In other Crayola news... I love crayons. I still buy them and I make a point to walk down the Crayola aisle occasionally so that I can get a whif of their magic aroma. I even get mad when my box of 64 starts to dull. I currently have a stash of at least 5 Crayola products and I use them more often than you should know.
