They’re back on the shelves—school supplies have made their early return. Just as I was still savoring my barbecues, watermelon slices, and lazy afternoons by the pool, I stumbled upon them: the bright boxes of crayons stacked high, the colorful spiral notebooks, the familiar sturdy bottles of glue, and those tiny scissors perfect for little hands. All neatly displayed in what was just a sunscreen aisle a few weeks ago.
Attention, retailers: could we pause for a moment? Let’s call that moment SUMMER.
I still need my popsicles, sunscreen, hot dog buns, and beach toys. Both my mind and my child’s mind are still in summer mode, blissfully free from structure. So when I see rows of wide-ruled notebook paper and protractors glaring at me from the shelves in the second week of July, it creates a sense of urgency I’m just not ready for.
I’m not prepared, folks. Not yet.
I still have lazy days to indulge in, mornings to sleep in, and lunches that don’t require any planning. I need to enjoy this summer season without the pressure of impending school preparations looming over us. I prefer to relish the summer flavors of corn on the cob and refreshing lemonade for a few more weeks.
I’m sure that in a month, after completing every summer activity we can dream of, I’ll happily stroll down the school supply aisle with enough excitement to warrant my own musical number. And just a week later, I’ll be greeted by Christmas trees.
