Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 21, 2012
Transcript:
Daddy, we can't possibly get all our back-to-school shopping done in two hours! We'll shop all morning, have lunch in the food court, then shop all afternoon! We'll make a whole day of it! She's going into a shoe store. Can't we just leave her here and let the mall cop bring her home?

@tornThe guys have gone to “buy” school stuff, hence the 2 hour limit. She has gone to shop, hence the all day of trying on and looking, before deciding . Even for shoes.

Next time be more clear – we are going to spend a few hours shopping for school at Office Depot. Once you bring in the word MALL you have to deal with all the stores.

My kids have been in school since last Thursday. My wife loves it, but I have to get up an hour earlier, and I’m very grumpy in the morning.

I’ve been school shopping since Friday. Have to go back out today because my 16 year old just has to get something else. School tomorrow, I go back Thursday.

Should’ve brought some stuff from the summer reading list, Nate!! You could be scanning parts of all the books, prep yourself for the major content of all of them……you know, for when you actually try to do the whole thing on the night before school starts…….Wail! WAIL!!!!!!!!!!!
