"Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon.  A happiness weapon.  A beauty bomb.  And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one.  It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air.  Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas.  And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight.  Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in.  With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest.  And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination."

Thats so cute...It reminds me of a moving about balloons I saw as a child. The story was about a red balloon that got loose and they boy who chased it all over town. He ended up finding it and a thousand more to boot. It was a great story. Thanks for reminding me of such a pleasant thought.
Love to You.
