The document proposes developing a "happiness weapon" called a "Crayola bomb" that would explode in the air and release thousands of boxes of Crayola crayons with parachutes floating down to earth. The boxes would contain 64 crayons each with built-in sharpeners in various colors. The goal would be for the crayons to cover the world with imagination and bring smiles to people's faces.

1. Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum

3. Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of "déjà vu," when you are used to existence, you become an adult.

4. The reluctance to put away childish things may be a requirement of genius. ~Rebecca Pepper Sinkler

6. He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. ~Albert Einstein

7. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. ~Robert Fulghum All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
