Crayola Madness
Word Count: 328
It pays to have extras of equipment with you at all times but sometimes they could be a real lifesaver.
I was on a roadtrip to Fresno with my family and I had a bag of activities with me to occupy but my most prized possession was a box of 120 crayons given by my parents.
Earlier before my parents gifted me with such valuable crayons, my grandpa had already given me a pack of 120 crayons without my parents noticing so I kept that one hidden from them cause who am I to deny 240 crayons.
We arrive at our first stop of family members to visit but this household holds one of my cousins that would always want all the new stuff and he definitely would be eyeballing my crayons.
My plan was to keep them hidden but my mom rats me out saying I have those 120 crayons set and of course my cousin was begging to use them and I had no say at all.
Now the sharing wasn’t the problem, I didn’t trust him that he would try to sneak a few crayons or the whole box. But, he knew he could distract me with Mario Kart so as I was playing that game helping him unlock stuff as I foolishly left him unsupervised with my crayons.
With that said, the moment we left their house, 30 minutes into the road trip I realized I left my caryons at his house and all he had to do was to blind me with Mario Kart.
But I couldn’t tell my mom because she would be mad and I knew I had a fresh pack at home so I wasn’t gonna rat him out for the sake of my benefit for my mom to not yell at me.
Sometimes you gotta forfeit to evil people but it pays to have extra supplies on what’s been stolen especially if it saves you from yelling.
I fondly remember growing up that I thought the huge boxes of crayons were the literal equivalent of a diamond ring; it was the best thing ever. I love your story- it had a comical sense to it and I really enjoyed how you mentioned the lesson you pertained from leaving your box behind.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post Lorenzo! I'm so glad everything worked out in the end, it's such a happy coincidence you had gotten an extra box! :D This post was so incredibility relatable, growing up I LOVED those huge boxes so crayons and I would also absolute dread sharing them with others. Your story was so humorous and a very valuable lesson was learned in the end! Amazing piece! ♡
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to that feeling of utter joy when given a huge set of crayons. I fondly remember getting a huge box for Christmas in like first or second grade. I thought your blog was very entertaining and liked the lesson you learned at the end.
