“Ruler is your son!?” Green Pencil gasped.

“Yeah,” said the ruler of Pencil-Vania.

“Wow!” Green Pencil and Eraser said, at the same time.

“I wonder who Ruler’s mom and grandma are?” Eraser said.

“Oh, that would be Mrs. Yardstick and Grandma Protractor,” said Ruler.

“Oh yes, old Grandma Protractor, I remember her,” said Eraser, with a curious smile on his face.
