Lunch Time Revelations

Today I brought canned soup to eat for lunch. So I went down to the lunch room with my stegosaurus lunch box and began to heat up the soup in the microwave. About a minute into the microwaving, a youngish guy (probably 5-10 years older than me) came in and began to prepare his food.

Guy: "I'm about to do the same thing you're doing.... *pauses and notices lunchbox* stegosaurus."
Me: "Hey, Mr. Stegosaurus is way cooler than a brown paper bag! *looks at Guy's lunch bag disdainfully*"
Guy: "Yeah, but the bag has a certain nostalgic value."
Me: "That's true. I always had the brown bags growing up. I never had a cool lunchbox. *revelation* Maybe that's why I have to have one now!"
Guy: "Yeah, look at you, you finally made it to lunchbox status."
Me: "I'm a cool kid now!"
Guy: "*laughs* Yep."
Me: "... Well, enjoy your lunch! *leaves quickly*"
