So we get all the back to school shopping done at great expense. The only thing thats bugging me is the markers, colored pencils and crayon situation. Finally this company, (I can’t say the company’s name, but they’re the best), release boxes with one hundred colors. Now it may be excessive but its awesome and the kids were super excited. So we get home and I had to open the markers because one hundred colors doesn’t come along everyday and I had just had to see. Then I looked at the colored pencils and amazingly enough they’re even presharpened. All one hundred colors! Now heres my complaint, why the hell are there only ninety-six crayons? They could have easily added another row of four at either end, I’m not picky as to the placement. Now on top of that what four colors did they not include compared to the markers and colored pencils? Thats what pisses me off the most. Seriously, do they expect us or kids to go through and spot the difference? Pretty foolish if you ask me. I contacted the company about them making one-hundred packs of crayons as well as what the four missings colors are but we have yet to hear back. —Tim&Sherry

The four missing colors are tubercular blue, runny egg yellow, matte catarrh and, of course, burnt sienna.
Enduring trials like these, makes us stronger as individuals and a community.
and the world will now end, because those missing colors, were crucial to keeping it all together, sigh.
When I start counting crayons, someone please shoot me.
Tim Tim & Sher Sher lost a moment of life due to counting crayons. SAD. Hope you didn’t think you made an error and had to count these twice.
CONFUSING QUESTIONS
“I contacted the company about them making one-hundred packs of crayons as well as what the four missing colors are but we have yet to hear back.” Tim&Sherry
Confusion at the company might have arisen from your two questions. First, what was the nature of your general question regarding them making one-hundred packs of crayons? Was it congratulatory? Critical? In what way?
Second, what was the nature of your question regarding the four missing crayons? Was the second question distinct from the first or was it incorporated into it in some fashion? If the first question were critical in nature, it is quite likely that confusion might have arisen at the company, possibly even hostility. One must be careful always to clearly distinguish one’s questions.
A pleasure as always.
