School Supply Obsession

Remember, before glue sticks, there was glue paste? In the first grade, mine was taken (or I misplaced it) six times. What a first grade memory. I think there is a (very loose) connection between my paste being taken and me hoarding school supplies to this day. Mid-July rolls around each year and those 50-cent packs of pens and pencils and colors call my name. It's a stranger obsession than my dish towel craze. Maybe that's weird too. And so, 'tis the season again.
