My hubs is 67 and often looks longingly at those boxes of 64 crayons -remembering how he always wanted one but his family couldn’t afford the big box. Maybe I need to buy him one for his birthday ;)
BTW, I had a box or two that our kids got from their grandparents, and never even opened them, so I kept them until they had their own kids … and yes it is true … when you give a kid a brand new big box of crayons, they get “that” look on their face …

There is something almost mythic about a new box of crayons. So much promise in a box.

Due to a bunch of cheapskates running the district, she probably had to pay for THOSE, too, out of her own pocket.

Geez, I thought I was lucky when I graduated from 8 to 12. Only the rich kids had 64 in my neighborhood.

64? All I ever got was the box of 24.

That’s nothing. I have a box of 120! I think there’s even one now that has over 200 colors.

The box of 48 crayons was the most I ever had; 64 would have been more than my little psyche could handle.

LMAO! It was always fun to get new crayons!
When the kids were little, we melted the crayons into molds and they would color with them. ☺️

I vividly recall getting my first box of 64 Crayons and that was 60+ years ago. I can still smell them.

I dreamt of looking for a box of 64 Crayons in a Wal-Mart Store the night before this cartoon was posted in my email box. Ironic… huh?
