I think I was about 6…..
I had a similar experience though at my grandparents cabin outside of Post Falls ID. The cabin sat on top of a hill, roll forward you get to the highway, roll backward you get to their orchard. A cousin and I jumped into my grandpa’s truck and pretended to drive, thankfully we rolled backward and though the gate into the orchard.

We didn’t have Pee-Chee folders. Lots of kids had Trapper Keepers.
I did that in a neighbor’s car when I was about 6? Luckily, the steering wheel was turned and me and my friend (it was her dad’s car) ended up in the yard and not the street.

I never really understood what the point of these. Although they were introduced in 1970, I only became aware of them while I was in Middle School
Don’t get me wrong - I thought they were cool, and made some incredible doodles, but couldn’t imagine why a “serious” person would want more than one color in a pen
It was also interesting to me that of the people who had/used one, all were girls
Being the curious person I was (still am), and awkward with females (less so now), I figured out how to take the pen apart and re-assemble it so the red “slider” moved the blue point, the green to black, etc., or something like that
I then offered myself to the girls who were getting bullied by the Mean Girls with the “fancy” pens
“Hey? You want to prank them? I know a way”
Next year - “Papa Don’t Preach” was released in 1986
That being said
Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all
One Prozac a day, husband’s a CPA
Her dreams went out the door when she turned twenty-four
Only been with one man, what happened to her plan?
Debbie was born in 1961
I’m guessing she got pregnant in '85, and is suffering from PostPartum Depression or something?
Her kid & Madonna’s are about the same age
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
in High School in 2003; Oldest could a a Senior at 18. Parent themselves by now - grandparents, possibly?

I’ve got one of these on the go today. Lol
no different to school requirements to buy 3 each of red, blue and black pens. Green being the outlier. Often teachers would get the class to swap their mini tests with the person next to them for marking, which you’d do in red. They took up less space.
Now the ones with about 10-12 colours, which were about an inch thick… I’d certainly agree with you.

I don’t remember that - I don’t remember “supply lists”'at all, actually
We only used pencils in elementary school, or blue pens; I went to Catholic school through 6th grade, so maybe black or red pens were “Satanic?” LOL
I was in elementary in the 70’s and we had supply lists. I remember my parents had to actually rent the books each year. I don’t know if they still do it or not.
How about this … Debbie is from Hawkins, Indiana, was a witness to the events at Starcourt Mall, and has some form of PTSD?
It’s probably wrong (and I haven’t looked yet) but the first one that came to me was “The Metro” by Berlin, for some reason, and that’s ALL I can think of LOL
Also, those lights look like there a Dalek behind her

I was pretty sure, but had to Youtube for confirmation.

When I worked at the hospital in college, we used these to chart - every shift had a different color.
