[quote=Anonymous]We don't, and neither kid has ever asked. Both have LL Bean backpacks that they picked out in their favorite colors and matching lunch boxes. My older one is getting a new one this coming year because the current backpack is nasty (has lasted five years, and this past year, it started out looking perfectly fine and now is barely recognizable as its original color) -- he's going to complain because he doesn't like to give up his old stuff, but washing hasn't helped at all. I find it weird that backpacks are some sort of moral victory or socioeconomic indicator. It's a backpack. It totes stuff back and forth from school. Buy a new one, don't buy a new one -- who cares?[/quote]
