person4People who do not share my love of childrens art supplies startle and confuse me.
How can you not love crayons? And those little watercolor pallets where each color is dried out in it's own little oval, and you get a really crappy paint brush? And markers that smell like fruit, or just normal magic markers? And sidewalk chalks? Most of them cost about a buck, and it makes my inner child wiggle around with glee to doodle with any them (especially when I give into the temptation to make the traditional little kid drawing of a square house with a big triangle roof, four windows, and a door, a thick green line at the bottom for grass, a tree with a big green puff for leaves in pretty much the same as the white puffs for clouds, and a sun that's so close to the earth that you could reach out and touch it from the roof of the house), and it just surprises me how many people I've met don't feel the same way.
