J's list was 14 things long!!! And some of those were multiples - 3 boxes of graham crackers, 2 containers of cleaning wipes, etc.
He's only in 3rd grade!!!!!!!
My hard-to-find thing was a hard-sided composition notebook - I think like a journaling kind? Naturally, I didn't get my butt in gear to pack his backpack until the night before school started - and this was the ONE thing I did not have. Of course, when I went to various stores to look for it the next day, everybody was OUT!!!!
Luckily I mentioned it to another mom, and she had an extra.
It is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I brought some notebooks and some pencils when I went to school - true, it was the 70s, but still - it's

PS - J's list was NOT the longest. The 4th graders had 17 things on their list!!!
