Reason #67 why I love my job

They take our woods games very seriously.

Meet Carson

Lunchtime is one of my favorite times of the day because that's when the stories come out. This story is brought to you by a 6 year old, first grade boy:

"My dog, Carson, is a baby bunny eater. And guess what? My cousin's dog is a baby bunny eater too. One time there was a mommy bunny and 6 babies in our yard. And we let the dogs out. And then there was only the mom and two baby bunnies left. Our dogs ate the bunnies. They're both baby bunny eaters."

Everybody needs a title

Camper: Are you in college?
Me: No, I'm finished with college.
Camper: Are you in high school?
Me: No
Camper: Are you a random citizen then?
Me: Yes, I guess you could say that.
Camper: Do you have a job?
Me: Yes
Camper: Yep, you're a random citizen!

Can I quote you on that?

"I'm allergic to animal touch. Well actually, I'm allergic to frog skin."

"I got to hold an injured hulk! I mean, hawk. I got to hold an injured hawk."

Pick up lines at camp

So after arriving at the pool today, one of my 11 year old campers called out my name. As I turned to face him he pulled off his shirt, flashed a smile at me and said, "Heyyyy, you come here often?"

It was all I could do to not burst out laughing. 

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!
