The Pencil Test!

So there are a few people around me that are pregnant and we started a discussion about the pencil test. Apparently, a pencil can tell the sex of the baby you are going to have and you dont actually have to be pregnant at the time of taking this test. He is not a believer in the pencil test, he was like "lemme try that for myself, yall are moving it"



Here's what you need:

1 - Sharpened Pencil w/unused eraser
1 - Needle threaded with about 3 inches of thread (any color, lmao )

Here's what you do:

Okay.. first you stick the needle into the center of the eraser (poking straight out from the top).

Next hold it by the end of the thread, about 1-2 inches over the inside of your wrist (palm up fashion.. either one) and the pencil will start spinning in a circular motion over it.

Just let it spin until it changes direction and starts to sway. It will either sway up & down with the length of your arm, or side to side like a watch band would go.

Let it continue swaying until it comes to a stop. If it starts spinning in a circular motion again, just let it go.. then sway.. then go.. then sway.. and so on until it comes to a complete stop.

The results:

If it sways up & down with the length of your arm, your baby is a boy.

If it sways side to side (watch band direction) your baby is a girl.

Each series of circular/swaying motions represents a different child, it's gender and the order they will be born.

Interesting Extras:

Supposedly, you do not have to be pregnant when the pencil test is done. You can be a grandmother, a not yet pregnant woman, or........

a man. For a man, it is not supposed to move in any direction
