   Do kids these days even know what a pencil fight is?

     @me It's a game elementary school kids play. One child holds the pencil tight horizontally while the other child takes their pencil and flicks it vertically downwards at the other pencil, trying to break it. Each takes a turn until a pencil is broken.

     Me: Do you know what a pencil fight is?

     My son (14): oh sure it's where you stab people with pencils, I think it's a Britain thing

     I then explained what it was and his eyes lit up.

     Good call, education is so important
