They Say....

That the smell of a crayon is one of the most recognizable smells to adults in the world. They also say that just sniffing a box of crayons will lower your blood pressure and help calm a person down if they are in a stressfull situation.
I found this quote today here: http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/collected-quotes.html I thought of these crayon facts when I read it and thought I would share it with you.


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 their imagination.
