A feeling from my childhood: pencils taste like studying
I chew on them a lot, the smell of wet wood and graphite is associated with focusing on a task , in silence and peace.
I love pencils....
ETA: Am I the only one who did this? You all seem to hate pencils! The slight crunch of the teeth digging in the paint, over and over, the specks of paint on your tongue that you spit out...Noone used to do that??
I did. I like pencils, you can erase them.
