colorful wax

i have two childhood memory's of crayons.

1. in kindergarten, my mom was the "parent helper" in our class. one day we were drawing with crayons. then my mom pronounced crayons as 'crowns'. my kindergarten teacher then went on for about 30 minutes, lecturing us that it 'cray-yons' not 'crowns'.

2. i was in the playroom of grandmas house while coloring with crayons. i asked my cousin if i could borrow the crayon she was using after she was done. when she finished using the crayon, i expected her to give it to me but she looked me dead in the eye and ate the top off of the crayon. it was gross.

neither of those experiences have any significance to me today other than the fact that theyre the only memories i have.
