First Day

School starts today. The boys are off with new backpacks, paper, and pencils. That's all they need now that they are out of grade school. I bypassed the big box of Crayolas and the paste wistfully.

I guess I could get a box for myself. I always wanted the really big one with the built in sharpener and exotic colors. Fuchsia was my favorite. Prissy said it was too expensive and always got me a box of 24 at most and then she got the off brand to save more money.

Too bad they didn't have social services back in the day.

That would have warranted a call, don't you think?

And don't even get me started on layaway...
