Pencils

Every night before bedtime, I'll check on my kids school bag to make sure if they have put in all the books and other necessary tools for the next day's timetable.

One problem that remains is the big R keeps losing his pencils. I think he has lost 5 mechanical pencils and countless of wood pencils started since January. Most of the mechanical pencils that has been lost were my favourite collectibles. I can have them for over 10 years, once let them use, it will never be seen again the next day! And now, I'm started to blame myself for being too generous to them. Can you imagine that everyday they come back from school with only 1 or 2 very short pencil that their small hand can't even hold instead of 3 to 4 long pencils which I've been put in every night thinking that they could comfortably write with.

So, I've decided not to let him has another new long pencil unless he could find back his lost pencil/pencils that has just went lost yesterday. I'm clueless as how to let this boy to know to appreciate his belongings and to get it back if others has taken it.
