Can a pencil be inappropriate?

The answer is yes! Sadly, if a pencil has been sharpened or the eraser is used, it is not appropriate for the pencil project. Even ones that seem appropriate to the 5-year-old eye, with eraser in tact and all, may actually not pass the test. For instance: "Sex Week 1996, It will blow you away," is not going in the donation pile. My daughter can read, but thankfully had no clue what it meant. It was from our univeristy's student health and safety group as a part of a safety campaign. Why have I carried this around for 15 years???!!!
