Brace yourselves; they’re long.
My kids’ school supply lists are so long, they’re printed on CVS receipts.

Really long.

And often confusing.
School supply lists like, “15 no. 2 pencils, must be carved from the bark of a 856 day-old palmito tree in the Amazon rainforest.”

Much easier when we were kids.

Never mind.

Regardless, most of these supplies won’t be used as intended.
Never underestimate a kid with a roll of tape and a pair of scissors.

Kids like to think outside the supply box.
At school my daughter took a sticker that said “Paint Supplies” off a box and put it on her shirt. Now she says her nickname is Paint Supplies.
She’s just going through that normal insist-everyone-calls-her-Paint-Supplies phase all kids go through.
Haha classic Paint Supplies.

You’ll need the classics. Pencils.
Be sure to buy your 7th grader mechanical pencils instead of wooden pencils or he will be a huge dork, never have any friends and never graduate from high school! (According to my 7th grade son.)

Glue. Lots of glue.
I’m buying my sons’ school supplies – does anyone know where I can get 10,000 glue sticks?
— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) August 23, 2017
Don’t forget to write your kids’ names on everything!
Today: putting my son’s name on all his school supplies.
Tomorrow: replacing my son’s lost and stolen school supplies.— Sarah del Rio (@sarahdelri0) August 20, 2017
This could take some time.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be labeling school supplies from now until my kids graduate.
— Paige Kellerman (@PaigeKellerman) August 10, 2015
So ensure that you only gotta do it once.
I’m writing my son’s name on all his school supplies in fake Halloween blood from last year so the other kids know not to mess with him.

But don’t worry, this’ll all be over soon.
