Multicultural Markers?!So my classroom at school is kind of like the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. Mostly it's my music room, but it is also used throughout the day as social studies, math and art on my off periods. So I thought I would use this to my advantage and use the art supplies with my 6th grade music class tomorrow so they can make nametags. Well I was digging through the art supplies cabinets and this is what I found:
Does this seem strange/amusing to anyone else? Woohoo, we put some brown and peach and tan markers in a box and labelled it "Multicultural"!

ha ha ha... (e:zobar), you crack me up.
My parents were always saying things like "it doesn't matter what colour someone's skin is; if they are purple with pink dots, we are all equal." Which is totally a great thing to tell a kid. But then i would colour people in that way at school and get in trouble. Green and pink were my fav combination...

I remember when Crayola discontinued Flesh because they said it didn't look like everybody's skin. I thought it was a joke because I didn't think it looked like anybody's skin, and anyway it was only ever available in the 48-pack. I always colored everybody Orange instead.

if you look closely one of those markers is the exact shade of your skin.

Here is my theory. They have allways from when I can remember used the rainbow on there box. Well I bet someone said that the rainbow is also used for gay pride. Well you put that on a box and you will kill sales big time. So as a way to distance them selves and to make it look like they are into multiculturism they add that. Again it is just a theory so.... oh yeah from a conspircy thoerhist.

Do they have white with pink for people with albanism?
How about jaundice green, gangrene, or seasick?
Do they have red for people with fair skin that live in warm climates?

a poem for Mr. Birthday ManCategory: mike
There is lad, his name is Mike
He has a green and black helmet to wear while riding a bike
Today he is twenty-four
Maybe he will eat some Or(eos)
Tonight we will go to Frizzy's
And we will definitely get very dizzy
Turning twenty-four is a big step
When I turned 24 Mike tied a balloon to my doorstep
Mike hates me for that last rhyme
And he will tell me to go die for the millionth time
That's just how our friendship goes
Mike Ja Rule and a buncha hoes
I should have written this in his card
I could write another one but it might be too hard
So now I will go wrap his gift
In order to make letters capital you have to press shift
Happy birthday Mike you silly swine
Tonight we will party like it's 1999
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
