Smelly Crayons

Smelly Crayons is a story based on a true story. My daughter, Brittany, was six years old when this story was written. When she finished her chores, I took her to the store to buy new crayons, a coloring book, and a new purple crayon box. She picked her crayons and a four-seasons coloring book. After all, it was November of 1997. She thought the coloring book was perfect. We looked for a purple crayon box and found one. Brittany was very happy. When we returned home, she quickly opened her crayons and took the paper off all the crayons. She placed them in her new purple box. She took out her bright-colored pink crayon. She started to color the bunny rabbit. She noticed that what she colored smelled. She took the paper off the crayon, and she had no idea what the scent it had was called. She took a good sniff and said, "I know, hot-pink bubblegum." I thought that would make a great story, and that was how Smelly Crayons was born. Please enjoy.
