Just a few weeks ago I bought a 20-pack of our favorite pencils. This morning I could find one little stub left. I sang the "Where have all the pencils gone?" song. But really, where do they go?
I bought this pack of 96 pencils, and I wonder when I will have to restock.
I ask my kids the very same question . . . where the bojangles did all the pencils go? Are you loaning them to kids at school? Well, DON'T 'cos those are the BEST pencils and they are EXPENSIVE to keep replacing. Geeesh.
ReplyDeleteI hide my office supplies without a trace of compunction, and I dole them out when needed. I've become a pencil hoarder. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't , then I would have no pencils, pens, scotch tape or scissors. My kids take them all!
I wonder that myself. Moms who have kids who go to school wonder about their pencils, but my kids do all their work at home. Where do our pencils go? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking they eat them...they never show up anywhere else...not in the sofa, not under the sofa, not in a kitchen drawer...it's rather like that black hole that the missing socks disappear into. Somewhere, outside of space and time, billions of pencils and socks of all colors are waiting to be found...
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to accuse me and my brothers of eating pencils....I love Dixon Ticongeroga pencils! :)
ReplyDeleteMy own children didn't eat them....they just sharpened them to death. :)
I love Ticonderoga pencils! My mom told me when she was a little her girl she would ask her dad for a pencil and he would go down to the basement where his workshop was, make a bunch of noise, and come back up with a Ticonderoga pencil. It took her years before she realized her dad didn't make them just for her.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute story, Amy. Thanks for sharing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTiconderogas are the best!! I was buying cheap pencils but you waste half of it when it breaks as you sharpen it. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
ReplyDeleteMy kids lose them at school. Your kids have no excuse!
