I don't think we traded things from our lunches at my school. Early on, I definitely didn't have the trendy things, and then, knowing me, I probably boycotted trading later on when I did have more commercial items, since the system had scorned me earlier. What I most remember about back to school is the first-day-photograph: in the uniform, with the backpack, new supplies or hand-me-downs (I agree, the funnest part, and still an obsession), my brother Bill, and in the very young grades, my Dad and our dog Fred would walk with us to school. And my mom would ALWAYS try to get a few more pictures than we were ready for. Enough already! On with the excitement! Hmm… I don’t think we traded things from our lunches at my school.

At one point, I had a choice of skipping a grade or staying in the one I was in. I was nervous about skipping ahead, but what ended up making me choose to do it was that the school supply list for third grade allowed for a higher-count crayon pack.

First of all, that is totally my mix tape from 8th grade! I remember making it shortly after I bought the "Romeo and Juliet" soundtrack. Darren, no one ever wanted to trade for our lunches. They were always very well-balanced and lacking in Little Debbie's snacks and Squeeze-Its. I appreciate it now, but at the time... All I remember about the first day of kindergarten was being really excited to carry around my "big girl" school things-- backpack, lunch bag, crayons, whatever else a 5-year-old girl needs. So exciting! Ohhh back to school… now I’m gonna have that stuck in my head all night.
