The children return to school. A month earlier, thousands of Panamanians rooms are flooded with commercials for school shoes, thank God, and do not give away pocket protectors, because as today's children do not use. Nor can we.

I made the mistake of to run errands on Saturday morning and found my way (slowly) hordes of frantic parents with bags full of chécheres size garden. I remembered my childhood and a bittersweet episode: Best school bag I've ever had.
My father bought it at the Siers (Sears), when left in the Transístmica against Riba Smith. It was burgundy leather, beautiful. I think Samsonáit (Samsonite). So big that I could be there. I think I still might, if he had not damaged the third quarter.
Filled with books, pencils color, dictionaries of all languages \u200b\u200band the school figures, they took me to school, decked out with the familiar cologne-scented handkerchief in his left pocket Menen. My skinny little body often bent like dwarf palms planted by a municipality. To date I have scoliosis. But it was nice that suitcase. Now, nearly two years after his death, I understand the joy of my father to buy the suitcase more bites of the universe. He never had one so beautiful. Is that why parents try so hard each year? Are we giving children what they really need? What does a child?
thing I can be sure: one of the greatest joys of my childhood was to have new notebooks, pens and light fluent, and the AAAAH! the school sabrosura ....¡ new books!
