melissel Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I thought I made a mistake once; I was wrong. Ah, you beat me to it! This is my dad's famous quote. I once told him that after researching a discussion we'd had, I discovered that he was right. He just stared at me for a moment, then calmly said, "Honey, those are three words you never have to say to me." :001_huh::glare::banghead: I'm a daddy's girl, but brother was he hard to live with! tnt, I'm guessing your daughters are in for a ride :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freerange Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Once, I bought a pencil that had an eraser. I don't think that in itself is a mistake, so long as you don't try to use the rubber. The presence of a rubber on the end does not render the pencil non-functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I have one kid who thinks erasers are tasty little treats that come free with every new pencil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I always make sure to buy pencils AND erasers. Pencil erasers never outlast the pencils. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Men never make mistakes just like women never "toot." I have one kid who thinks erasers are tasty little treats that come free with every new pencil. So I'm not the only HS mom who shouts out, "Don't eat my erasers!!!" at odd moments all morning long.
