bath writers

6/10/2019

Spotted in the children's section of a Burlington Coat Factory. Imagining a writers' conference where this is the swag. Imagining writers in their bathtubs working until the water gets cold and all the bubbles are gone and it's time to get out, past time, but the writers don't want to. Do these implements run out? The duck-shaped yellow thing must be the eraser. How clean do writers want to be? How often do writers bathe? The kid in the photo looks uneasy. Is she afraid to see what she's just written? Why are most of the words on the box in lower case? There's math on the box, including multiplication and conversion into metric. Do writers care about math? bath writers is for ages 3 and up. That's probably a good idea, although who can say what 3 and under potential is being squelched. Who are those creatures in the container next to the box? Agents? Editors? Maybe they are the readers, hopeful that what comes from the bath writers will be wondrous and entertaining. Maybe they want to write too but can't reach the implements in the bath writers box. That would be sad.
