Pencil Day


This is Thomas, the second grader who I tutor. Without question, he's a handful, but at least we get his homework done. He had a full blown tantrum in the front yard because he didn't want to come in and his dad's response was to hug him, kiss him, and tell him that he loved him.  I waited patiently because all that was happening on the clock, but as you can see... once he's in the house, he's fine. I know I shouldn't be critical of anyone's parenting skills since I never did it, but come on!

Hymen Lipman received the first patent for attaching an eraser to the end of a pencil on this day in 1858. Although apparently, there was already a patent in place. And now, who really cares? Not I.
