Helena Bonham-Carter, being British, didn’t know that “grade school” was much younger than one would expect from such a line until after the film was released.

By then Gen X will have replaced them, and going on about reminiscing about how mix CDs burned from MP3s downloaded from AOL sounded better than the vinyl and TikToks the kids are listening to will be the “we drank from the hose was our curfew” of the time
