My mother’s grandnephew has a worn-out bag to hold his Scriptures, but won’t bother to replace it. (What’s not to like, Petey, about a backpack made up of ultra-light, waterproof, 1,000 denier polyester? Don’t you want your homework to be soggy in the rain or when dropped into a puddle?)

My mom wants me to get a new backpack, and has even offered to pay for it, but I just can’t bear to replace my ratty old NES-controller-shaped one.

Wow, Petey! I wouldn’t put it quite that way, but Madeline certainly has an edgy sense of humor. Alice just doesn’t quite get it yet….

Put Starwars on the backpack and the kid will be all over it. By the way: I want one of those lunchboxes!
