Backpacks with Wheels?

It’s the first day of public school in these parts. Driving out of the neighborhood this morning, I noticed that many of the kids had backpacks with wheels.

What are they transporting in those things? I got through 12 years of school without a backpack. In fact, it was considered very uncool to use a backpack or bookbag of any kind. And then I got to college, and backpacks were cool. But that is a different issue.

I don’t think offering to carry a girl’s backpack is going to be quite as effective as a first move as offering to carry her books.

    Hee Hee now that we’re homeschoolers I never thought I’d be welcoming the start of school in the area. However, I’m just tickled w/ today. By 10am the neighborhood was quiet & peaceful & we were in this Oasis of Tranquility.

    Next week we are headed to the beach minus the usual summer crowds & tomorrow we are headed to the park to enjoy the company of our other homeschool friends. Some days life is grand.
