Office Supplies

Anecdote Number One: In my closet at home I have a box of old papers and pictures from my early school days. I still have the first story I ever wrote in first grade and the book report I wrote about Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh. My favorite keepsake from preschool is a questionnaire I filled out during preschool.

Yes, my favorite thing to do was punch holes.

Anecdote Number Two: One year when I was around 5 years old my mother heard me talking to myself in my room. She stood by the door and heard me praying to God for Santa to bring me office supplies for Christmas.

Its a true story, my favorite toys as a child were office supplies. Pens, pencils, hole punchers, staplers, stamps, notebooks, paper clips, envelopes, and erasers were my toys of choice. I spent hours pretending that I worked as a hotel receptionist, booking rooms, writing statements, and stapling everything together, after punching some holes of course. I still have my cherished blue box of office supplies upstairs in a cabinet. Hopefully my children will enjoy playing with office supplies because I'm going to keep my box for them.
