Letters for my son: 23 days ’til college

I went shopping for the boy. $200 in college supplies that included Advil, cleaning supplies, toiletries, Band-Aids, hangers, paper clips, Post-it Notes, etc.

The school published a long list of recommended items including this one: Air mattress for when you have guests.

That one made me chuckle. Guests in dorm rooms pull up a piece of the floor or, the more intimate kind bunk with you in your single, crammed in like sardines. We just earned a free air mattress from the loyalty program at Harris Teeter. Maybe I should pack it with the rest of the stuff for the boy.

    Guests? Is that some sort of euphemism?

    Cleaning supplies? Doesn’t his dorm provide this service?
