This episode is brought to you by Name Bubbles. It is back to school season and you know what that means.

Lots of items are heading to school and they're not always necessarily coming back. They're either headed to the lost and found, they're left on the school bus, their friends take them home thinking they're theirs.

They have something to put your child's name on it. So it comes back home. These will be staying on
