I Thought Only I Did This With A Pencil In School – Boy Was I Wrong
The truth I used for "Two Truths and a Lie" this week was something I thought was unique to me, but come to find out I'm not the only one to do this with a pencil when they were a kid. Each week Meredith, Lori and I come up with status updates where one of us is lying. The person who guesses correctly wins a $25 gift card to Walgreens.
Little did I know that I'm not the only one to have jabbed myself with a pencil and broken the lead off inside my skin! How in the world did we all survive childhood!
Drew pointed out that by the time I was a kid there was no need to worry about any health effects from the pencil.
And the woman who babysat me as a child and was a student in my father's high school civics class told me a little story about my dad's classroom rules that I had no idea about.
To this day my dad can still state the obvious so well.
