School's starting again in, um - a week almost.

Phaethon, do you have supplies and stuff? Like all your pencils and notebooks and folders and things? Cause if you don't, we totally have to go to Staples. Teachers get all frowny if you don't have the right stuff in your bookbag.

What about you, dearling, do you have your supplies?

[a_snowbaby]

I got some left over from last year. So I should be okay, I think.

[moonstoneglow]

Let Aunty take you shopping anyway.

[a_snowbaby]

But -

I mean, you don't gotta. Phaethon hasn't done school before. He probably needs stuff more.

[sonofthesolar]

Aww, school?

[a_snowbaby]

Uh-huh. Third grade.

You don't really get a choice. It's illegal not to learn stuff.

[sonofthesolar]

I know plenty of stuff already!

[a_snowbaby]

Yeah, but we have to learn school stuff. Which is mostly stupid, but no one seems to care.

I am displeased at the prospect of you mingling closely with mortal children, but I suppose it is unavoidable.

It's okay, Grandpa. I went to school last year.

It wasn't too bad or nothing.
