A Kids Backpack

I still remember when I was just a kid who wants a backpack just because its the new craze in town. The parents are all busy buying kids backpacks during the start of classes. I was so envious of the kids who have those elegant kind of backpacks. One school year, my mom brought me a backpack and it was the first time I will be using a backpack going to school.  I was so proud of my new backpack that I shared it with my friends. The weeks after that day, I noticed my brother looking at my backpack every now and then. It was then I realized that maybe he wanted one as well. We asked our parents to buy him a backpack like mine, but my mom said that it was to big for my brother. So she decided to buy my brother a toddler backpack instead. Not only she bought my borther a new backpack but she also bought us nap mat, so that we can take our nap everywhere we want to. We just have to bring along the mats. Those good all days of being a kid. Enjoy being kids guys, because when you grow up it will be less fan and more tiring activities for you.
