It involved spreading out all the pencils, and then flicking them into one ahother with the goal of knocking teams off the edge of the table. The teams that lasted longest got some kind of score, and it all went into a notebook of records I kept. Mom thought I was nuts, but it kept me quiet, at least.

Mom was right.
