We had a day of Pencil Box stories today.  Dash complained that he still didn’t have one and really needed one (they were out when I got his supplies).  I was so excited he mentioned it, because just earlier today I had gotten him one.  I even made it look extra special.

I told him that nobody would mistake his for theirs, and he just laughed.

Because they were out of boxes originally, Scout and I found a triple-decker pencil box for him.  I was hesitant it would be allowed, and like I thought, his teachers told him he would have to get a smaller one.  Meanwhile, he came up with a different use for his box.

My entrepreneur created a box of $2, $5 and $7 items to sell at school.
I knew this wouldn’t fly at school, but I let his entrepreneurial spirit soar.
He did make a few bucks, but the same day he made the cash, he was threatened to never return with it again.
