<p><b>The 64 Crayolas</b></p><p>Last weekend I stood outside Park Layne Elementary in New Carlisle, Ohio — the school I walked into as a five-year-old, a new kid, a few weeks into the year, knowing no one. My friends caught it on their phone.</p><p>It's where a memory I've carried since kindergarten happened: a classmate got a brand new box of 64 Crayolas with the built-in sharpener.
