Children’s Violence Can Be Deadly
It’s not clear why, but pencils are a common weapon used in fights between schoolchildren. Considering that they are likely the sharpest object in a kindergarten or classroom, this makes sense. As a result, it is much easier to injure someone with a pencil than with an eraser. In any case, it leads to a series of events that are truly appalling.
A pencil was used to injure the babysitter’s child in this fictionalized account of a real-life incident. They escaped with minor injuries, but please keep your sharp objects to yourself.
