Rules with Stationary
1. Rules with Rulers
When something looks bendable, that doesn't mean it is. Looks can be deceiving, especially when it's stationary.
Exhibit A:
Person A: Hey, look at my ruler! It's bendable!
*Small crowd gathers*
Person A: (still bending the ruler and then it snaps) Oh snap!
2. Be Sharp with Sharpeners
"Get a good grip," says everyone who loses their sharpener to the stationary eating dustbin. Find out why below.
⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
Imagine this, your pencil is blunt,so you get up, walk to the dustbin, open the dustbin and start sharpening and BAM, your sharpener falls into the dustbin that has snotty tissues, old food wrappers, mouldy uneaten sandwiches, and other stuff you just don't want to know about, should I go on?
Choose your action, comment 'nay' or 'yay' next to each option (A,B,C or D) to show which you would do:
Do you do :
A: Stick your hand in bravely into the unknown and rescue your sharpener.
B: You're going to the mall this weekend so you'll just buy a new one.
C: Call for someone to help you.
D: Wait, and wait. . . You're still waiting for someone.
Have this happened to anyone you know or you? This has happened to me, twice!!! It was horrible.
3. Peculiar Pencils
In this section, we've got two topics.
i.Pencil sharpenings and sharpener
When you sharpen your pencil, the pencil gets shorter and only sometimes, it gets sharp. Like, it is so annoying that it doesn't get any sharper. And then there is the walk to the dustbin, where you have to throw it away, did I mention that the dustbin is on the opposite side of the class.
ii. Those cheap pencils and their stupid eraser
Part One: Eraser
You're in the middle writing a sentence with your brand new pencils that have a cute small eraser that the top, then you misspelled a word and you can't find your eraser that you normally have with you, and then you think that the person that normally asks to borrow your stuff has it and they're absent today, staring at the pencil you get a idea, why not use the rubber on top of the brand new pencil, it's your only choice so you do what you have to do and start rubbing the mistake out.
You look at the paper and see that there is more a mess than before! I personally hate it when that happens!
Part Two: The Pencil
You learned your lesson about the eraser, but what about the pencil's lead?
You found your proper rubber. It was under your workbook! You nearly blamed it on that always abesnt person, again. You started the next paragraph on your English essay and you're nearly finished, just a few more minutes...
You just got one more sentence to do. You are on the last word now but you press a little too hard on your new pencil and the whole lead breaks off from the pencil.
You gasp, how could this brand new pencil betray you?
You get up and start sharpening your pencil but, you aren't getting very far so you sit back down and get another pencil from your pencil case. Hopefully this time, the lead isn't broken!
