Packing a Suitcase is a Science!


My son began packing for his field trip--at first he just threw things in haphazardly and ended up with a big mess! Then he realized that he couldn't fit everything in the suitcase--messy packing takes up a lot of space! It reminded me of those commercials about shrink wrapping everything and fitting a lot of things in a small space. Some people can really pack well, and others, including myself, are just not very good at it. He took everything out and started over--it took him a while to get everything in, then he thought of more things he needed. He stopped for the day and spent some time the next day repacking everything again. Packing well really is a scientific endeavor!
