one week until school starts - I finally convinced Wm to walk two blocks to staples to purchase his supplies. Being a girl, I thought he should pick things out to make sure he got the design he liked for the binder, the pencil box, the composition notebooks ...
SILLY ME
What was I thinking? He's a boy! There is, in fact, nothing to choose if you're a boy other than blue/red/green/black. Now, if I had a girl, the selection process could very well take hours. Solid? Print? Design? What kind of design? Coordinate the binder/pencil box/notebooks or just choose independently? Pastels or brights? How ever to pick from the 20+ options?
We were in and out of the store in 15 minutes. It took longer to convince him that we actually really did need to go today than purchase the supplies.
