You know, a girl can put up with a lot of things.
She can put up with little people taking two bites of their hamburger and then saying they're full. She can put up with people throwing perfectly clean clothes into the laundry because they are too lazy to hang them up. She can even put up with shoes left out, empty milk jugs in the fridge and toys all over the floor.
But it's the little things that can make her go crazy.
Things like looking for a pen which actually writes that is actually near where she might want to use it.
Is it asking too much for people to not walk off with workable writing instruments? Must the only things available to jot a phone message down be eyeliner or lip pencil? Even a crayon with a tip that isn't broken off would be appreciated.
Today's Small Thing is to throw away all the dry pens, broken pencils and crayon nubs that you have to paw through to find the one good one that works. Why do we keep these things around? Just in case?
Just in case we want to use them as weapons? Yeah, you might be able to stab an intruder with a dry pen, but it's unlikely to happen. Face it.
All contingencies aside, toss out those good-for-nothing pens and add "Package of Pens" to your store list. Then the only problem you'll face is which good one to use first!
