Perhaps a purple pen? Do you have any more info about the object? Household item?

Hubby thought of cigar, but he couldn't get the purple to work for that either.

Purple marble rod. LOL. Got it. We'll use that if we have to.
Maybe we're making it too hard.

The answer is: pencil. The question is: where did the teacher get certified?
To: Samwise
Your index finger a couple of days after smashing it with a hammer.
To: pieces of time
why would a pencil be described, "many shades of purple?"
I'd like to know what class in school was this question posed.

Pencil? No chance. Ever seen a 37'' long pencil that's 3.75'' thick?
