This is a intended as a funny, silly thing to make you busy moms laugh in the midst of the back to school chaos. I’m sure you won’t really try to ruin their first day of school!
- Instead of buying new clothes [since they outgrew their other ones] just add some duct tape to cover their ankles
- Drop them off late for their first day of school [the later the better!]
- Send them a tofu and bean salad for lunch [anything kids don’t usually like will do]
- Load up your kids backpack with everything they may need [don’t forget the kitchen sink!]
- Kiss them in front of their friends
- Wear your bathrobe and curlers in your hair to drop them off to school
- Forget to feed them breakfast
- Tell the teacher in a really loud voice that your kid has a weird rash that they will need to keep an eye on
- Make them wear a personalized family picture t-shirt to school [so they won’t forget you!]
- Pick them up late, really late!
Or I guess if you don’t want to ruin their first day of school…
