My daughter (9) was hurriedly writing a paper for school last night. I looked over her shoulder and noticed it was looking oh so messy.
I said, “Charlotte, why is one word of your title normal size while the other is huge? And, why do I not see capitals in your title or beginning your sentences?”
Long pause.
Then came her glowing, perfect response, “This is just my first draft, Mom. I wasn’t gonna turn this in.”
Good save, Grasshopper. Good save.
Pencil? Oh, those sharp wooden sticks that scrape black stuff onto large rectangular pulp-based tablets? How…neanderthal! 🙂 But yeah, I type too much. My hand hurts even after a few minutes holding a writing instrument.
