I took a late night stroll through Target last night looking for a few things. Here’s a tip, if you’re looking for a fly swatter in a Target store, it’ll be in the kitchen utensils section. Thank you to the little guy at the Ashburn, VA Target for helping me out…and no thanks to the three other associates that had no idea. I really do think that grocery stores and mega marts like Target should have a guru desk. Just one person, sitting at a desk, you take a number, ask them one question and you get the answer without dealing with the flunkies on the floor. Sheesh, I’m rambling today. My point of this post is that as I rounded a corner in the back of the store, there it was, the back to school section. True and terribly sad indicator that summer is almost over…of course Kmart’s Christmas in July sale is way more depressing and confusing, but I digress. I thought to myself last night that a “Getting Your Kids Back to School, the PoppaBlog Way” post was in order. Then I looked at my army small huddled mass of writers and realized nobody here writes has kids that are junior high school aged or older, forget college. So what to do? Well, here’s an Amazon link for back to school deals:
Outside of me reliving my high school and college years and telling you to be sure to get your kids some stone washed Levis Silvertab jeans, a Trapper Keeper and some Cross Colours t-shirts, I don’t think I’d be very helpful in getting your kids what they want and need for this upcoming school year. So I am here begging someone, one of our loyal handful of readers to step up and nominate yourself or a friend who has some kids that are over the age of 10-12 and would be willing to write from that angle…you know the angle where your kids are not old enough to kick out of the house for being a pain in the you know what but too old to sit in time-out. Yeah, the magic years…on the cusp of rebelling and staying out late, enduring the day to day fight of wanting to be a teenager but still struggling to stop listening to the Jonas Brothers, and of course the awkward sex talk years. We need posts about the sex talk, we need someone to write about teaching the little, ahem, young man how to shave that ridiculous peach fuzz off of his lip, that’s what we’re looking for!
The catch, we can’t pay you, yet…get in touch, leave a comment…PoppaBlog is still in the red, but once we start making some money, the writers shall get paid!
