I had mostly forgotten what this time of year was like when parents and kids are frantic to buy all of the school supplies they need before the first day back. "Look Mom, pencils for 10 cents!" "I want book socks!" And seeing some of the kids pull on their parents' hands to rush into the aisles, and then other parents pulling their kids along while everyone is after the same supplies.
I feel this event is like Christmas in the department store. Because at the end of the night, after the door has been locked, and we turn around to face the mess, we are in awe of how torn apart the store has become. And we know that regardless of how perfect we make it right now, it will be this way again tomorrow.
