Middle school memory

I found this pencil upstairs tonight.

It's from 7th grade.  I remember that my mom ordered a pack of them for me and had my nickname printed on them.  I remember, too, that I didn't want to sharpen or use them because I liked them so much.  (There's no logic in that, I know.  As Jacob would say:  Don't judge me.)

How is it that I still have a barely-used pencil from middle school?  
How is that I was ever small enough to earn the nickname half-pint?
How is it that I have a son who is almost the same age that I was when I got this pencil? 

Eesh.
