And, in honor of the first day of August…
“On Sunday, we got one of those fabulous automated calls of which I’m so incredibly fond. Sassy’s middle school principal had a seven-point audio presentation for us, and one of those seven points was the supply list. The supply list. I fuckin hate the supply list.”
This is way more than your typical school supply list rant. It is a laugh out loud funny look at our new academic demands, including commentary on elementary socialism and quantity overkill. Bwahahahaha!

Don’t be surprised if you are a little sad when it does! It will pass in about 3 seconds 🙂

Funny enough, I don’t doubt the mourning transition, but you’re right…school supply sadness will not last.

I’m so thankful that my daughters high school supply list is so much smaller than middle/elementary

I’ll look forward to that then. I thought I had T’s middle school list all set — bought the supplies on the website — only to show up for open house and get entirely different lists from the teachers. Aaarrgghh.

Thanks for this funny blast from the past of Joey’s blog. Laughing all the way…now that I don’t have to do this any more. In the South, the teacher supply lists were posted in Walmart, K Mart, Office Max, etc. Ugh !!

She cracks me up and, considering the lists are popping up in (yep) Walmart & office stores laughter is the best medicine. 🙂
