The little pencil that won't quit (and darn it, you shouldn't either!)

:D

I'm truly impressed that there is an almost full eraser on that nubbin. Not chewed, not worn to nothing. So many full length pencils in my house have absolutely no eraser! When found, they go in the trash.

OMG, Julie. I also have a pencil like this that reminds me of writing work accountability - https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMqZ6XvRIN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link has the receipt -<twilight zone music> I did not sharpen as far as you did (or your family did) on using it up to the metal band, because putting my fingertips on the metal part makes my teeth set on edge...but it's shorter now than it was back in Jan. 2021 (when I took that pic). Anyhow, we may be long-lost writing siblings.
