Local Father Has Best Day Of His Life After Son Asks If They Own A Pencil Sharpener

ADNA, WA — A local boy made the mistake Tuesday morning of asking his father if the family had a pencil sharpener, only to watch the man immediately pull a pocketknife from his jeans like he had been waiting his entire life for that exact moment.

“Don’t need one,” the dad said, taking the pencil and shaving away at it over the trash can with the quiet confidence of a man who believes every household problem can be solved with a blade and a little common sense.

After a few careful strokes, the pencil was returned with a point that technically worked, though it looked less “school-ready” and more like it had been chewed sharp by a beaver.

The boy reportedly accepted the pencil, said “thanks,” and decided it was probably easier not to ask any follow-up questions.
