Well my two went back to school today. My daughter wearing

Back to school mishaps in the Western Wards - have you got a funny story?
my son’s old school sweater because I couldn’t find any of hers, and my son
with his lunch money in a souvenir kangaroo’s scrotum as I couldn’t find his
wallet. It took quite a while to find the kangaroo’s scrotum actually…
Name labels still haven’t arrived - possibly because I only
ordered them yesterday. So I quickly scribbled their names in their uniform this
morning. I probably didn’t need to do this though, as they can’t take anything
off – they haven’t got their PE kits with them (haven't bought them yet – do they still
need plimsolls?). I’m assuming they won’t have PE on their first day back.
On the plus side I remembered where their school was and what
time they needed to be there - and we were on time. And they both went in
without so much as a glance in my direction. So all in all a successful start to
the school year I feel.
Hm – what shall I do now?
Oh I forgot their WATER BOTTLES! Drat! And what time do they
finish…???!!
How’s everyone else managing? Any good stories?

My son no longer wears uniform as he’s just started at college – but the last-minute scramble to get school-ready is just the same – ‘Mum, I need a new school bag, mine’s coming apart’ came on the morning term began, followed by ‘Oh, and I forgot to tell you I’ve lost my kit bag’, and ‘Mum, I’m doing football and need boots – by tomorrow,’ when he got home.
At least I haven’t had to sew in dozens of name tapes – although I’m considering doing so as I’m taking bets on how soon he leaves something on the bus… on the school field… at lunch…
