‘Powrót do szkoły’ albo ‘la rentree’ jak to się u nas mówi, to (przynajmniej dla mnie) co roku ciężki orzech do zgryzienia. Codziennie okazuje się ze szkolna wyprawka jest nie do końca taka jak powinna (kredki miały być bordowe a nie fioletowe! Ten zeszyt jest nie w taka linie jak trzeba!), albo że nie mamy

‘Back to school’ or ‘la rentree’ as we call it here is a tough piece of cake (at least for me). Every day it turns out that the school supplies are wrong (the pencils should have been purple, not violet!, the lines in the notebooks are not the right one), or missing (why did you
