I learned two new things this week. One, there’s an organization called Writing Instruments Manufacturers Association (the prerequisite abbreviation: WIMA). Two, the pencils I may have used could’ve been dangerous if they weren’t certified. Gotta dig through the house and kids’ backpacks to track down every pencil and check if it has a right live between our fingers and thumb. Learn about the pencil stamp of approval from this news release.
The Pencil Makers Association (PMA) certification program verifies the materials in pencils don’t reach toxic levels. Thank you, PMA. When I do puzzles and anything else in pencil, I’ll be sure to remember your importance to make sure that when I put the germ-infested pencil in my mouth that I don’t get poisoned.
Yes, this is tongue-in-cheek. It’s Friday.
