New folders, etc....loved that whole 'decorating' them thing!

- Yep! School supplies, clothes and ALWAYS new "school shoes" that we would have to take off after school before we could play!

2. Do you still peruse the back-to-school aisles now that you're grown up?

- Peruse AND buy! With 2 kiddos in elementary school I stock up on what I can. They had 24 count boxes of crayons for 10 cents each... I bought 12 boxes - 2 to send to school and 10 extra to restock the school supplies later in the year. Same for glue - it was 25 cents each and I bought 6!!!

3. What back-to-school item did you just have to have, only later to find out it wasn't as useful as you thought?

- Can't think of one

4. What is your favorite TV show about school?

- I liked the "Afterschool Specials"

5. What was your favorite and least favorite part of going back to school?

- I hated having to get up early but I liked being able to see all my friends again

And of course the bonus question . . .

Usually, my grandparents sent us stuff for school. I went to Catholic school most of my school career so clothes shopping was easy. It was just the supplies that we needed.

2. Do you still peruse the back-to-school aisles now that you're grown up?

Naturally. They have some pretty cool stuff now-a-days, and I'm a total office supply geek.

3. What back-to-school item did you just have to have, only later to find out it wasn't as useful as you thought?

The Trapper Keeper. OMG what a waste of money. The folders always fell out and the side pockets wouldn't hold much!

4. What is your favorite TV show about school?

Fame. Love, love, love Fame.

5. What was your favorite and least favorite part of going back to school?

I love the excitement of getting to see friends again. Just hated the work! lol

And of course the bonus question . . .

What color are the undies today????? (oh, come on, you were waiting for it, LOL)

White, satin.

It's still Friday, so I"m not really late, right?


Disclaimer, these are from my elementary days. Wasn't sure what age "kid" meant. lol

Definitely. I don't remember where, but I think we went to Gemco (if that was around for anyone else). It's like a Target/Walmart now. And some nicer stores. Like...Broadway. lol

....I loved Hello Kitty stuff!!! Since my Mom was a stewardess she often went on trips to NYC, and I insisted on getting something Hello Kitty from each trip. My (Irish) friends envied me! LOL
