I used "The Miracle Eraser" today to clean off my dusty chalkboard, and have come to one solid conclusion: no one knows what the word miracle means anymore. When I first reached for this "miracle" of an eraser, I thought, "Wow! A miracle eraser! I wonder what it does!" My thoughts soon raced to an eraser that could vacuum up all chalk particles within a 12 foot radius. I conjured up visions of swiping the miracle felt block over my green board, only to discover it had left an azure blue stripe in its wake. Perhaps this eraser could fuse chalk dust back together into solid pieces of chalk, so not to waste any precious resources. 

In the end, it was a pretty good eraser. It got the job done without leaving massive stripes of chalk puke. Overall, a satisfactory day for an eraser. But it was not miracle, to be sure.
