I wasn't allowed to go to kindergarten.
I had to be isolated from all of the people who were going to die soon.
I didn't even know about Crayolas.
No wonder you lot ended up 'leaving jehover'
Your parents are to blame cos they sent you to Kindy.
Kindy is sort of like...............YMCA.......
Your parents were 'weak in the truth'.
No wonder you turned out so .....................BAD.
Bad associations in your youth!!!
Reniaa?????
Did you go to Kindy????
Is that why you have shamed you parents by posting on Apostate websites????
It's OK Ren, I understand. Truly. (((((Reniaa)))))

I loved crayons! I loved the way a new box of crayons smell.
My favorite thing about the big box was the silver crayon. I was also partial to magenta and teal.
I liked the box of 64 because I had so many more choices, especially in greens and variations thereof.
But I suppose there were some in the box of 64 that I never even used or maybe only used once.
So I guess this shows a quirk of human nature, that many times we just like to have an excess even though less would be adequate.
Oh, and like having the option of a crayon sharpener in the back of the box. But truthfully, I don't think I ever used it...except for maybe trying it out.
Even today, we like "stuff" that has a lot of features...but how many of the features do we really need or use?
If this was a market research question, Doe...where is my $?

I wasn't allowed to go to kindergarten either. Too many "bad associations" that would have spoiled my useful habits.

When I was bigger, there was someone in our congregation who had..........
...........Television
Their daughter wore a short skirt too..........
.................very short............
................I think they must have let her go to kindergarten too.
I bet Brinjen didn't wear skirts that short
She didn't go to kindergarten.
She was a good girl.

I got the eight pack.
I remember getting sick every single morning. I cried all the way to school It was at least 3 blocks and I had to turn a couple corners. I was always afraid some kid would run out and try to force me to do drugs. Or I was going to be raped. Then after I got to school I would be terrified that the alarms would go off, in CA, it was either a fire drill, or a earth quake drill. During earth quake drills, we had to get under our desks and curl up in a ball and cover our necks. Every time we had one, I thought it was Armageddon, I would close my eyes real tight, thinking any minute now everyone around me would be dead.
I also remember everyone staring at me because I didn't salute the flag. My mom told me not to do it, but she didn't tell me why, except to say that Jehovah would be very mad. The first time, the teacher kept putting my hand over my heart, and I'd let it drop to my side. She did this a few times, then finally gave up and made me stand in the corner. (Years later, I got to share my embarassment I mean my example, before a live audience at the assembly. Every one clapped for me.

I was not allowed 'the big box' of crayola's , that would have been following the worldly course of over-indulgence .
I had to always appear meek , humble and lowly of mind in presense of my worldly peers , you know ...different so as to stand out as an example.Having the 'Big Box' of crayolas ...well that would have just been haughty ,flaunting greediness .
My clothes were modest homemade dresses (I wore stretchy stir-up pants under them in the winter ) My back pack and later lunch box had to be plain with no idol worshipping cartoon characters or worldly icons such as Barbie or The Monkees grossly displayed for all to see .
If you must know it was one of my personal demons I had to fight constantly in kindergarten, because you see internally I had a war going on inside of me because I coveted those 'big boxes ' of crayolas .I wrestled daily within my weakened fleshly self as I eyed Vickie Coopers 'big box' of crayolas sitting right across the table in front of me !
On the outside I would never let on how I desired the silver and gold crayons instead I would piously stick my nose in the air at her and say "hah no one really NEEDS all those colors any how " . She would torture me as she blantantly sharpened her gold crayon to a pointing fine tip, smiling ever so slighly like the evil ,wicked crayon glutton she was .
Thanks for bringing all this up ....I thought I had worked past all this 'sniff' 'sniff' .......crawls away from the computer to check on how many crayons are stashed in the junk drawer .

I had the 64 box in 3rd grade. It wasn't the crayola brand though. Whitmans or something like that. I loved the box. I loved the silver, gold and bronzes. I loved the blue green, burnt orange and midnight blue the best. But in KG, I would have probably just broken the things. The fat colors they gave us didn't break so easily. Broken colors really bummed me out.
