Middle School: 1989 Vs. Now
Kids today have it easy.
Is it September yet? Of course you love your kids, but after 10 weeks of uninterrupted quality time, the school year can't start soon enough. So load up the L.L.Bean backpack — the bus will be here any minute!
Once a New Englander, always a New Englander. You DO carry your own jug of maple syrup in your L.L.Bean backpack, right?
Nothing is forever! Fortunately, your L.L.Bean backpack is built to last a long, long time. Not like that "lifetime" gym membership you ditched after two weeks.
