Ticonderoga pencils are the bomb! I have vintage ones left from when I went to college! My dad worked for a school supply warehouse and much like going through the Sears’ Wishbook for Christmas, each fall we would go through the Hammett’s catalog for new school supplies.
Oh Debby! I wash my boy’s pencils as well! Now that school is out for the summer I suppose my pencil washing will wane. Lots of his looked like yours Bossy.

June 9, 2009 at 9:35 amWe have several distant cousins, they tend to live in my washer. Grade school children are to blame. The boy in particular. WHY?

Bossy's Daughter says

dgm says
June 9, 2009 at 4:00 pmAwww. I just want to cuddle it and scratch it behind the eraser. But I guess you should give it back to Bossy’s Daughter.

June 9, 2009 at 10:17 pmCan you continue to care for it at your house or will it have to go to a pencil nursing home?

June 9, 2009 at 11:03 pmI know this pencil well. My daughter enjoys pencils of this length, to my utter dismay!
