I was doing some testing this morning with a 7 year-old girl. A very nice girl. Cute as a button.

I was watching her complete a writing task as she quite absent-mindedly put the blunt end of the pencil up her left nostril.

I decided to retire this pencil from my test kit and send it home with her with my holiday wishes!

I also offered her one of my nose-shaped pencil sharpeners. This way, the next time she sticks a pencil up a nostril she’ll at least get a sharp point out of the deal!
