’Twas the week before school started…
And all through the land, things were just a little quieter than usual.
Not dead.
Not deserted.
Just enough to make every small business owner look around and think…
“Soooooo… where’d everybody go?”
Was it the beach?
One last summer getaway?
Back to school shopping?
Or are parents simply hiding in their cars for five minutes of peace before the school bus arrives? 😂
We know this week. It’s the annual “cram every last bit of summer into seven days while simultaneously trying to get everyone ready for school” week.
So enjoy that last beach day.
Buy those sneakers.
Find the missing lunchbox.
Pretend you’re emotionally prepared for school to start.
And when the backpacks come out and the alarm clocks start screaming again…
We’ll be right here, ready to feed you.
Because let’s be honest…
Back-to-school season requires caffeine. Lots of caffeine.
