Think back. You remember. Kindergarten. Perhaps it was first grade. But it happened. To each of us.
Your favorite art teacher brought in the art cart. First she pulled out the white glue (real glue, Elmer's with the weird animal logo, not the paste, paste was for wimps and the kids that ate weird things), then she brought out the macaroni.
At this point you can't contain the excitement, you know not to shout out, but in your head you scream.
What.
Are.
We.
Making.
Today.
Finally she pulled out the biggest container of silver glitter you had every seen.
GLITTER!
Yes, glitter, which wasn't allowed at home, (too messy for the shag carpet) and Ms. (fill-in-the-blank) your classroom teacher didn't believe glitter was an appropriate art supply.
But, now. Now, was a different story your art teacher had the good stuff and you could finally express yourself the way you had always wanted.
A bit overly dramatic? That's not how I saw it. If you think about it, macaroni and glitter is such a fundamental crafting material. I mean what kid (and any adult that was once a kid) hasn't used the combination of white Elmer's glue, macaroni and glitter to create something that only a mother could love.
