No, that was only for the rich kids. I really wanted one but my parents couldn't afford it.

No. I was too poor for fancy items like this.

Every room had a quality sharpener attached to the wall, so we didn’t need our own.

No, I had a pocket knife. It's 59 years old.

Probably too stupid to use the slide calculator on it anyway.

I guess I was rich enough because I had one. If you had that and a box of crayola crayons meant I had everything I wanted

Yes, and we were far from being rich.

That's how I memorize my multiplication tables in the second grade! I was way ahead of the curve!

Show a kid a slipstick today they'll probably try to roll a blunt with it.

Hell yes I had one. We had a hand cranked mechanical pencil sharpener at the top of our basement stairs at home also. Everybody had one somewhere in their house.
