Why My Kid Is Cooler Than Most

Backpack shopping for school was quite the frustrating ordeal for Savannah (and me).  I thought we would be able to walk into one store (Target) and pick out the one she liked.  No big deal.  WRONG.  Several stores and way too many hours later we were still without a backpack.  I finally told her we were done for the day.  She was pretty upset (on the verge of crying) because she couldn't find what she was looking for.  Turns out Savannah had a backpack in mind... she wanted an Elvis backpack.  No joke, she was crying and all confused about why there were "so many Bieber backpacks" (seriously her words).  Savannah, I was thinking the same thing, but come on, is it really something to cry about?  So I told her I would see what I could find online.  After numerous searches I decided that I was going to have to figure out another way to get her an Elvis backpack.  The only sort of Elvis bag I could find was a purse type backpack that was in no way suitable for school.  So on to plan B... I decided to go old school... I searched for Elvis patches.  Jackpot!  There were a bajillion out there.  So I sat Savannah down and ran the idea of buying a backpack she liked and then ironing on a bunch of Elvis patches.  Once I showed her all of them on ebay she got so excited.  So that settled it... I ordered three patches... we bought a crazy bright backpack that she thinks is so cool... and now we have a happy girl with (in my opinion) the coolest and for sure most original backpack at school.  

This is just one of the many many many Bieber backpacks that are out there.  So thankful for her Elvis obsession.  It could be worse... it could be a Bieber obsession.  Yikes.

I only ordered three for now.  There were a bunch of other patches that she loved, but I figured three was good.  I plan to order more and use them as rewards for doing well in school and stuff like that.  Eventually this thing will be covered with Elvis love.
