These stories have to be put in perspective (what is a bag of air?). I think back to my childhood since I was born during the war which had rationing in it and after it. I thought that was normal, I was too young to understand. Lunch boxes for schoolkids had not been invented as far as I know. We got a third of a bottle of milk in the mornings. The school didn't have a kitchen and when they invented school dinners we had to be bussed to a school that did.
It is possible that if I had the riches of Timmy and had a lunch box then I might have been mugged for it, or was mugging invented by then?
Anyway I enjoy being a boring old frat and saying things like, "We didn't have that in my day".
Run away and play Timmy and don't bother your elders again.
