That prize leaves much to be desired.  A pencil topper!  Shouldn't it be called a pencil sider since it actually is on the side of the pencil?  Everytime you look at your pencil do you want to break out singing "The Ants Go Marching?"  BTW, I used to sing that to World's Most Precious Niece when she was a baby.  It was usually when I couldn't get her to go to sleep.  That song was so monotonous her little eyelids would slam shut!  But I digress.....

Prizes used to be really good in the bottom of boxes when you and your sister were kids.  In fact I remember many a time emptying the contents of boxes into big bowls because the two of you couldn't wait to get to the bottom of the box.  Then I would have to get it all back in the box.  No easy feat!  Of course there were tears and squabbles over who would get the prize.  Oh the joy of parenting back in the day of prizes in boxes!  Those were the days my friends and I wish we could all go back to that sweeter gentler time!  I wouldn't trade a minute of it!  Wish I could get it all back but of course I have those sweet memories.
