"Summer days are here! Don't forget to take that lunchbox out of the backpack! (You'll thank us in Sept.)" That was the sidewalk chalkboard message in front of the Curious Cat Bookshop in Winsted, Conn., which noted on Bluesky: "As schools start to let out for the summer, let the words of Stacy's grad school friend, Abby the Murderer of Fun (who's also a teacher and parent), ring in your ears now so you don't regret it when pulling that backpack out this fall!"
