Your child’s math binder has finally given in to the weight of nine months of papers, and has started randomly releasing drawings of parallelograms throughout your house.- You have witnessed yet another senseless killing of a perfectly good pair of sneakers.
- You found the left mitten that had gone missing in January.
- You’ve been at the school 12 times in the past five days for various recitals, parties and championship games.
- Your butt is now shaped like the school bleachers.
- Artwork. Piles of it keep coming home, but you’re not sure what to do with what appears to be an Impressionist interpretation of SpongeBob, SquarePants.
- You owe $63.13 to the lunch lady.
- You keep having a recurring nightmare where children’s voices are heading in your direction, complaining, “I’m bored.” No wait. That isn’t a dream at all. And it’s coming from inside the house!
- You just wrestled another mom for the last bucket of driveway chalk at Target, and now you’re racing each other for the Slip n’ Slide.
- The Back-to-School TV commercials have begun.
