Dear Target, your pencils suck.

I recently had to sharpen The Pirate's school pencils, all 48 of them. We bought the Target home brand, Up & Up. Not one of the 48 pencils sharpened to a nice pretty point. They shredded or splintered or the lead inside was in tiny fragments that fell out. I would not enjoy writing a sentence with them, let alone a whole school year.

This is the first time I've been disappointed by the Target brand, but if I lived close enough I'd actually taken them back.





(found this in my drafts, thought I'd go ahead and post it!)

  5. It is disappointing-after all sharpening pencils to a nice crisp point is one of the joys of back-to-school! I would also hang on to them and return them next time you go!
