Summer camp, either sleep away or day by day, lots can happen.
I'm camp counselor Peaches, and this week is the last week of camp where I'm employed.

*Michael Phelps olympic victory screech* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

It's been said a lot that kids say ridiculous things. Well, they do ridiculous things too. Since I'm real close to being done with my camp counselor days, here's the best of the best of what I've seen and heard at day camp.

"Can we taste the paintings?"

Finishing every story with, "...AND THEN I PUKED."

"So what did you do this weekend?"

"We went to Chicago...AND THEN I PUKED."

"I don't like flowers because they're so pretty I could die!"

"This football is BROKEN!"

Kid picks up football and tries to throw it like a round ball. Football doesn't go forward as planned. Must be broken. It's the only explanation, obviously.

"You're a harry wizard!"

We played Muggle's Quidditch and players were to "snitch the snatch..." (snatch the snitch) to win.

Camper: I'm bleeding

Counselor: "Do you need a band-aid?"

Camper: "No. I just wanted to let you know I'm bleeding."

Great. Cool story. Are you sure you don't want a bandaid?"

"I don't burn, Peaches, I burst into flame."

Um, okay, so you're getting extra sunscreen.

*After doing Supermans in gymnastics club* "Are we going to do Batmans now?"

"Which finger do you pick your nose with?" *kid puts his finger near his nose to check.*

"This game is stupid!"

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED IT.

"Do you think Batman would be able to beat a sink?"

This comment was followed by something along the lines of "...the floor would be the stomach of the floor would be fire." I don't even know.

* Talking about mayonnaise* "It's like salty yogurt!"

"You're smarter than me. You're 21. I'm eight."

Wisdom beyond that kid's years.

*talking about vegetables* "I'm gonna fail 6th grade."

We were just doing a craft about the food plate and this one kid had a realization.

"Water is for the weak!"

"Can we get water?" DUDE, ALL WE'VE DONE OUTSIDE IS GIVE THE GAME INSTRUCTIONS. NO.

"If you get this movie quote right you can get water."

*Quotes 'Remember the Titans'*

IT'S FROM REMEMBER THE TITANS, JEEZ KID WATCH A MOVIE!"

"Know what Peaches? My GoGurt said you'd be attacked by super intelligent broccoli..."

*I hold up my bag of carrots*

"...Luckily you have you have carrots..."

HA, YOUR ENHANCED BROCCOLI CAN TAKE A HIKE.

"Take off your beard!"

Look, the he's just lucky he HAS a beard okay? Beards are not detachable.

"You're smiling. I see that smile in your inner beauty."

It was one of those "I MADE PEACHES LAUGH/SMILE" moments. Which I promptly denied.

"Hey Peaches! Apparently Wolverine can cut bread with his claws!"

REALLY??

Kids say the weirdest things.
