No, that was only for the rich kids. I really wanted one but my parents couldn't afford it.
ReplyDeleteGot that right.
DeleteNo. I was too poor for fancy items like this.
ReplyDeleteMe too
ReplyDeleteEvery room had a quality sharpener attached to the wall, so we didn’t need our own.
ReplyDeleteMust have been a prep school
DeleteNo, I had a pocket knife. It's 59 years old.
ReplyDeleteProbably too stupid to use the slide calculator on it anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh the smell of pencil shavings in the morning !
ReplyDeleteI guess I was rich enough because I had one. If you had that and a box of crayola crayons meant I had everything I wanted
ReplyDeleteYes, and we were far from being rich.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I memorize my multiplication tables in the second grade! I was way ahead of the curve!
ReplyDeleteShow a kid a slipstick today they'll probably try to roll a blunt with it.
ReplyDeleteHell yes I had one. We had a hand cranked mechanical pencil sharpener at the top of our basement stairs at home also. Everybody had one somewhere in their house.
ReplyDeleteI never went to school.I self taught myself to read when I was 5 and up.I got my GED when I was 16 and joined the ARMY when I was 17.I was in Viet Nam from 1965 to 1970 and graduated from college in 1975.I have no regrets.
