The Chronicles Of A Camp Counselor: Kid Quotes Edition
facebook

It's been six months since I was forced to return to the real world after being a camp counselor all summer. I grew a lot as a person and learned an incredible amount, but the biggest lesson I learned was just how weird and funny kids are. The phrase "kids say the darnedest things" took on a whole new meaning.

I was recently scrolling through pictures of my time during the summer, and came across pages and pages of day-camper (6-10 year olds) quotes that we kept updated on notebook paper taped to the refrigerator, so with only three months until I return, I thought I'd share the top 10 camper quotes of last summer.

1. "I'm going to paris to destroy the world's largest ant colony with a bazooka."

2. "If you say cuss words you go to jail."

3. "I did four sit ups today. I'm trying to get myself bikini ready."

4. "Yeah I'm special because for some reason wherever I go I get whatever I want."

5. Counselor: "Can you please help me find the remote?"

Camper: Rolling eyes and groaning "It's right here."

Counselor: No, that's just a stapler...

6. Counselor to camper: What did you name your rats?

Other Camper: "You should name them fat ass!"

7. "I came here because I thought I could be free...(jumps off pillar) why can't you just let me be free!"

8. "THERE'S A BABY IN MY MOM'S STOMACH AND IT'S EATING HER INSIDES!!!"

9. Camper 1: "We have pimples."

Camper 2: "Actually, they're called nipples."

10. "I drink New York Milk, so that makes me half New York."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
