Was I actually born before mechanical pencils?!


In honor of Super Bowl Sunday, I present to you one of the best things about being a kid...pencils. Ok, not just any #2 pencil (anyone ever find a #3 pencil?!) or that gigantor 1/2" thick pencil (for 8 year olds with carpal tunnel?!), but NFL team pencils. These came in an assortment of colors to match your favorite teams and had the name embossed on it. My favorite? The Miami Dolphins pencil. I didn't even watch football and yet I loved these things. How else would I ever know the Cardinals used to be in St. Louis?
