I am moving floors at my office so the boys helped me Saturday pack up a few things and take some personal items to the car. I noticed Collin "helping" by opening up the desk drawers and discovering my pens and pencils. I did not know how many mechanical pencils I had until Collin let me know these details:
Collin: "Mom, you have a 0.7 pencil! I don't have one of these. Can I have it?"
Me: "That's the one I use every day. See if you can find another one you like."
Collin: "What about this one? My favorite color is purple."
Me: (thinking that he is saying purple is his favorite color so I will give in) "Why don't you take that black one that has the gripper on it. I thought you like those with grippers."
I did not pay attention after that because I did not want to stay too long. It was also time to eat and my family knows they need to feed me soon after I announce I am hungry.
Well....this morning when I came to my office, I noticed I am missing a purple mechanical pencil and the refill lead for this pencil. Did a co-worker take it? Maybe not. I think I know where I will find it or at least someone at home that knows its whereabouts. Little thief! :)
