PSA: Check your kids' backpacks before they go to school
Found a half-eaten PB&J sandwich and a banana peel that had been sitting in my 6yo's backpack for THREE DAYS. The smell was something else. Also found a note from his teacher saying he's been forgetting his lunch box at school like he's running some kind of operation. Anyway, I'm apparently not as organized as I thought I was.
I've started putting a reminder sticker on the lunchbox that says 'BRING ME HOME' and it actually works. Also started spot-checking the backpack midweek. Sounds excessive but beats finding science experiments
