The Important Dilemmas of Parenting

...in my world.

Do I get the plastic pencil sharpener with the snazzy doovalacky attached
...which catches the mess
             but will get trodden on and smashed...
...or thrown like a frisbee               
or filled with some liquid or bodily fluid instead of shavings...                       
or     
...or the metal one...
                                                     ...which will not break so easily
but will leave a trail of wood and lead in its wake...
...or become embedded in a limb or orifice
thus requiring a trip to emergency...

Who could know?

As I see it, it's a lose-lose whichever way the cookie crumbles. Stock up on the first aid and settle yourself to a spot of pre-disaster therapeutic crafting.
