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 peace 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 instead of death. A child who touched one wouldn't have his hand blown off.<br /><br />-- I've always loved this idea.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742777265021634232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-58830882700120677242012-06-25T08:14:22.329+01:002012-06-25T08:14:22.329+01:00Hi Bob .. loved these - don't they 'tell t...Hi Bob .. loved these - don't they 'tell the time' giving an idea of life back then ...
