Episode 303: Anthropomorphism

The twins find a pencil sharpener and promptly sweep the house looking for pencils to sharpen. They ask Terrastina for some pencils. Nope, she says, don’t have any. They go to Mazolli. Need any pencils sharpened? they ask. Mazolli looks in the kitchen drawer and pulls out a stubby little blue pencil and a strangely unsharpened brand new pencil. Here you go. The twins twirl both pencils against the sharpener’s blade. They collect the shavings and deposit them into the trash. They hand the newly pointy pencils back to Mazolli. Thanks, he says, these pencils look much happier now.

This reminded me of the aroma of the shavings. I used to love that. Maybe I'll go sharpen some pencils.
