I have gotten some weird gifts in my life. My first weird gift was a black permanent marker as a kid. It was the kind that used to smell very strongly and if you sniffed it long enough you would get a headache. Well I got a headache just trying to color with it.

I remember the marker very well. It was huge and it barely fit my little hand. I hand to grasp it with my entire hand and I used it to help decorate some of my toys. It was pretty bold and I’m not sure entirely wise to give a kid a marker, but I certainly put it to use. I learned that it didn’t come off my skin very easily either.
