Crayons...

This is a box of crayons. Yes, crayons. But I think a lot of people can see that. There are a whole bunch of crayons in there. Collected and piled up for years and years. And it's not just crayons, either. It's got pencils, scissors, markers, colored pencils, sharpeners, almost anything you can think of that you can use to draw. There's probably scraps of paper in there too.
Now, just to make this post longer, I shall describe each item in detail.
Crayons are round chunks of wax that are colored. They are used to fill in the lines of a drawing. The most popular brand of crayons in this family is Crayola.
Pencils are round, tall chunks of wood with harmless lead in them. They used to have harmful lead in them, but I think all the deaths made them stop doing that. Pencils are mainly used to write words or draw pictures. If you do it right, you can also fill in a drawing and make it look shiny. Most pencils require sharpening, but mechanical pencils are plastic and have removable sticks of lead. You normally push the eraser in and the lead starts coming out.
Colored pencils are, well, pencils with colored lead. Useful when you don't really have any crayons, or you don't want the waxy feeling on your paper. These also require sharpening.
Markers are plastic tubes with colored ink in them. Just put the tip on a piece of paper, and out comes the ink. The problem with markers is that the ink seeps through to the other side of the paper, sometimes getting on other surfaces, but luckily, most markers have washable ink.
Scissors are used to slice and cut pretty much anything bendable and flat. But mostly paper. They can also be used by little kids to cut up clothes, which my sister did once, and she got in big trouble for it, too. We are always trying to think up ways to invent scissors that cut a perfect circle, but none of them will ever work.
Paper is the white thing made from trees that is used in almost every craft project. Sometimes it is colored. That is called construction paper. Paper can be cut, torn, drawn on, written on, you can basically do almost anything with it, including making paper hats. Most paper is rectangular in shape, but you can cut it into a square, or whatever you want it to be.
So that is my description of everything in that box known as "The Crayon Box" for years and years. Every now and then it spills, and you can guess what happens then, but usually it is very useful when you are looking for a certain shade of a color, because I'll bet you that there is at least one of every single darn color in that box. You just have to look hard enough.
You may think it is impossible to lose a box, but think again. We've lost this box many, many times, mostly because people bring it places like the kitchen table and don't put it back, instead putting it under the library shelf and leaving it there. Or under the bed. And so on.
Time to go. I think this is long enough, don't you? Maybe you're getting a bit tired of reading it. So, ta-ta for now!!
