“Oh My God, Mom! You can Not be serious! Why would you buy those? They’re completely stupid and weird. The ones I had last year were so much better, these stink! Do you have any idea how embarrassing they are? I’m not bringing them to school. No way…I’ll die!” Anna-11
Here’s the culprit. Hide your eyes…they’re hideous.
Completely mortifying, I know. Those divider guys are lacking a sensitivity chip. Bastards.
I don’t know about you, but that big yellow bus cannot get to my house quick enough, right now. We’ve had similar drama, and I’m about ready to stomp my feet and pound my fists, too!
Ah, the sound of the big yellow bus is music to a mother’s ears. Enjoy your peace and quiet…and drama-free day.
LMAO! I read this on e-mail first so the picture was a complete surprise. I love office supplies, but I guess that won’t make me cool in your daughter’s eyes. We haven’t even thought about shopping for school supplies or clothes for Sarah yet. Low priority compared to actually getting her into school.
Office supplies can be completely mortifying!
Best wishes to Sarah on a great day at her new school.
What is my daughter doing at your house?!?
Yes, she’s here and they’re discussing the pros and cons of wearing blue nail polish on the first day of school.
Thanks so much for popping in and for taking the time to comment. I hope you’ll stop back.
So offensive
Hahaha! I’m so glad I don’t get so easily embarrassed. I’d stay humiliated all the time!
I consider it a gift to not embarrass easily. As a kid, my cheeks were constantly red.
I read on email first, too, so you placed the picture perfectly! I love the drama!!!
Most of the time I have to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing. Thankfully, she usually realizes that she is being ridiculous and we end up having a good laugh at the nonsense of it all…many hours later.
Oh yes …. so embarrassing … so horrific … so LAME.

(Yeah, I know, my sarcasm needs a little work.
…so retarded…so mortifying…so stupid…so juvenile…the list goes on and on!
Bastards! But how else can tabbed dividers look?
Uncaring bastards to make such embarrassing tabbed dividers…the shame of it all.
Honestly, I don’t know how tabbed dividers are suppose to be less embarrassing and more cool. Maybe if I did, I would be fabulously wealthy and popular among the middle school crowd. Instead, I just bang my head against the wall.
This morning, I found myself wanting to interview Li’l D when he clutched a couple of used diapers and put up a battle cry anytime it looked like I might be approaching for a removal. “Give to D,” he’d explain, presumably because his daycare girlfriend finds diapers romantic . . . ?
I wish I could interview Anna now, too.
Those diapers can be so romantic. Hilarious!
Ah, the importance of fitting in…even when it comes to dividers.
Hahaha…
MY EYES! THEY BURN! THEY BURN!
Dividers can be completely mortifying. Wite-Out has the potential to be equally insulting.
I bet you probably bought her regular old Bic pens too… nice going!
And, don’t even get me started on the emotional damage that can occur from having the wrong color backpack..earth-shattering.
If these dividers inspire such a level of revulsion and embarrassment, you must be worried about how she’ll handle a genuine setback.
You must have limited experience with pre-teen girls. I once witnessed an entire 6th grade class of girls moved to tears over the wrong size paper clip. Thankfully, the drama doesn’t last forever…it usually subsides right before they leave for college.
Best laugh of the day…… And I can so relate….
Thanks, Daeja! I take it you have some experience with dramatic pre-teen girls.
