Piano Scales and Dropped Pencils

Oh, wait! I dropped my pencil!

For some reason, in this house, we have a mystical force that causes pencils to unexplicably drop from very secure locations and pencil lead to become more fragile than glass. Instead of a smooth 5 minutes on a worksheet, there is a three intruptions of a pencil rolling along the floor, and at least as many pencil leads breaking all without a culprit. I was encouraged to read a blog from homeschoolers and teachers that this phenomenon is not unique to our home, but of children and indeed even adults everywhere. What I have not been able to find is a solution. I will continue to search and update any finding I come across.
