Pay the Purple Pencil Penalty Please

There is a penalty for purple pencils, the puffed up penguin said. Not this morning! I yelled to my muse as this danced in my head. She is fierce and mighty, a pirate queen, so she flung me out of bed. I laid there forever, hoping she would leave, as I promptly played dead.

I think you might have your kids design a Purple Pencil Penalty Box for Hockey Players who engage in 'High Sticking.' ~ Frozen Brain Iced Over
