Don’t Judge: I Bought My Son These Pencils and He Loves Writing With Them

Do whatever it takes to help your child become a reader and a writer. That’s what I say. So when my son expressed interest in these bawdry pencils, I was like, “F— it. Let’s get them.”

To my delight, he loves sharpening them and getting into his math and writing homework. A little vulgarity can be empowering.
