I'm a little under the weather tonight. In an effort to relieve some congestion I broke out the Vicks VapoRub. It took me back to when I was a kid and what my mom would do when I got sick. There was this thing called a vaporizer (I''m sure they still make them) and it looked like a little UFO that emitted steam and and Vicks.
Now I have something to confess. One day, when I was probably 5 or younger, I figured out that if I held a crayon over the steam it would melt the crayon and the colorful wax would drip all over the place. I don't know how many nights I crawled out of bed and played with that thing. Many a crayola met its demise late at night in my little room.
I'm pretty sure I tried to keep everything cleaned up so I wouldn't get caught. And I don't remember ever getting caught either. If I ever did leave a huge mess, I'm sorry, mom. ;-)
