I like pens. A lot. But I have learned that living with children (and I've done that since I was 21) I'm never going to keep a pen around. So I tend not to buy ones I really like because they won't be around next week. I buy ones under a dollar or a package for three or four dollars.
Somehow at work we ended up with one of our Schneider pens on our workstation. And it is the nicest dang pen for one that is $2.15. I've been using it for over a month and still just like it. So I ended up splurging and bought two of them. A blue one and a purple one. I then stashed them away. I was going to work on a project at Pat's house yesterday and brought the pens with me.
I told Mom all about them after I picked her up. Once we got to Pat's, I got out the blue pen and let her try it. Well that was that. That pen got clipped onto her shirt and she claimed it as hers. Okay. Then later she showed Rebecca how cool that pen is. And it immediately went back on her shirt.
I have a happy Mama and it only costed me $2.15. And when you think about it....it's just like having a kid take my pen. ;p
