let's talk about eyeballs

While eating lunch with a few campers the other day, two 6th boys were going back and forth for an extended period of time: Camper 1: "Humans are basically stars because stars are made up of atoms and humans are made up of atoms." Camper 2: "That's ridiculous. Why would you even say something like that?" Camper 1: "Well, it's true." Camper 2: "Um, no." And it went back and forth for some time. Finally, I asked the boys to find a new topic of discussion. A 1st grade boy sitting beside me said, "Eyeballs. Let's talk about eyeballs!" The rest of lunch his sentences starting something like, "My eyeballs think..." But my favorite was: "My eyeballs think that your eyeballs are goooood lookin'." Well, he successfully found a new topic.

Summer days are meant to be spent at camp

Well, the weather might not agree, but summer is finally here. And summer days should be spent at camp. This past week was just a sneak peak at what's ahead for the summer. And hopefully many fun and hilarious stories to come. A few of my favorite quotes from the week are as follows:

Camper: "Here's a mystery word combination: Tic Tac, like the candy you put in your mouth, plus toe, like, your toe."
Me: "Tic tac toe?"
Camper: "Yeah. Well that was kind of an easy one."

While on a bike ride, I apparently just do some things subconsciously, but I amazed one particular 8 year old: "Britta, that's so cool how you scratched your leg while you were riding your bike."

I will argue that I have the best job in the world!
