My New Backpack
This summer was the best summer ever! You wanna know why? Because my mom bought me the coolest, most awesome backpack for the new school year. I'm going into 5th grade now and you know what that means - I'm gonna be one of the big kids at school! No more being a little fourth grader. I'm finally growing up and I needed a backpack that shows just how mature and rad I am now.
My old backpack from last year was okay I guess. It was red and had Paw Patrol characters all over it. That was fine when I was a little kid, but I'm a big kid now so I obviously couldn't use a baby backpack like that anymore. I started dropping hints to my mom around June that I needed a new one for 5th grade. I thought for sure she'd take me to the store right away to pick out an awesome one with like superheroes or sportsballs or something. But she said we had to wait until closer to the new school year to get it. Ugh, moms, am I right?
The weeks just dragged by with no new backpack. Every day I'd ask my mom, "Can we pleeeeease go get my new backpack now?" And she'd always say, "Not yet, we have to wait a little
longer." What was the big deal? Why did we have to wait so long?
I just wanted a cool new backpack to show off to all my friends and the new fifth graders. Was that too much to ask?
Finally, after what felt like forever, my mom said we could go shopping for school supplies, including the all-important new backpack. We went to this big store that had them all - backpacks of every style, color, and size you could imagine! My eyes practically popped out of my head looking at all of them. There were ones with the local sports teams, ones with video game characters, ones that turned into shoulder bags, ones with a million pockets and compartments. The choices were endless and I couldn't decide which one I wanted!
My mom told me to pick out any backpack I liked and not worry about the price. You know your mom has to say stuff like that, but you also know there's no way she'll actually pay 100 for a backpack covered in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or something. So I tried to be reasonable and find one that was cool but not too expensive or babyish.
I finally settled on this black backpack that had green slimelines and shapes all over it. It looked super stylish and mature. Not a kid's backpack at all! And it was only 35 which I
knew my mom would go for. When I showed it to her, she said, "Wow, that's a great pick! Very cool." See, I knew she'd love it.
But then...then the awful, terrible, nightmarish thing happened. My mom picked up the backpack, looked inside, and saw that it didn't have enough pockets and compartments for me to stay organized with all my school stuff! She put it right back on the shelf. I thought I would cry. What was the problem? It was literally the perfect backpack! Who cares about pockets?
My mom then held up this OTHER backpack. It was bright blue with yellow stripes and had the biggest, dorkiest design ever on the front. She said, "What about this one? It has a million pockets to keep you organized and your laptop safe and secure." Are you kidding me?! That thing was hideous! I wouldn't be caught dead carrying that bright blue brainiac backpack.
I politely told my mom that one was okay but I really wanted the cool black one with the slimelines. She then gave me a whole speech about how I needed a backpack that could hold all my belongings and keep me organized so I didn't lose assignments or school supplies. She went on and on about it. I just kinda stopped listening and stared at the beautiful black backpack behind the counter.
Well, you can probably guess what happened next. My mom got that stupid bright blue thing with all the pockets and that's the backpack I'm stuck with for 5th grade. I carried it around the house all last month just to get used to how insanely uncool and lame it looks. All my friends are going to see it and think I'm a dork!
My mom says I'll be glad to have a good, functional backpack rather than a stylish one when I'm lugging around heavy books and binders all year. Yeah, yeah, whatever. There's always next year to get a backpack that actually fits my personality and level of awesomeness.
At least my new lunch box is cool - it's got the Baltimore Ravens logo on it! My mom couldn't ruin everything about my 5th grade supplies. I guess I'll just have to strategically cover my lame backpack with Ravens keychains and pom poms to make it look a little cooler. Sigh, it's hard being a soon-to-be fifth grade guy with an awesome sense of style that my mom just doesn't appreciate. The struggles are real, my friends. The struggles are very real.。
