I have a theory. I think my son's school has hidden cameras in all the local stores. The footage from these cameras is broadcast to a TV in the Teacher's Lounge. I think they then purposely put an item that nobody carries on the back to school list and then they sit in the teachers lounge and watch the parents try to find said item and laugh at us.

A ZIPPERED ART BOX. Not a pencil case. An ART BOX. With a zipper. I went to eleven stores today and nobody's got it. I am telling Austin he either needs to ask his teacher where they are available or he will need to make do with what we already have.

Last year it was an erasable red pen and a 6 inch ruler.
