Just got back from 5 days of dazing and confusing teenager-watching at Covenant Pines. Since you couldn't make it, heres a snapshot of things you missed.
- A Jr. High boy asking if, after devotions were finished, we could all maybe have an awkward silence. His request was granted, and it was awkward.
- A Jr. High boy walking through a field, bending over to retrieve a pair of underwear from a pile of wet leaves, and asking aloud, "How did my Hanes get all the way out here?" (Yes, he took them back to his cabin for safe keeping.)
- A Jr. High girl who happens to be a semi-professional log-rolling champion, explaining the finer mechanics of the "Jerk and Squirt", a technique for making your opponent slip off the log.
- A kid trying to scare me in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, his arms waving in the darkness landed on my crotch, and the boy and I both wound up equally freaked out, shouting "Ahh! What is that?!"
- Me waking up in the middle of the night to a boy staring at me and screaming. Night terrors, apparently he remembers nothing.
- Me waking up in the middle of the night to chipmunks -- CHIPMUNKS! -- running across my sleeping bag.
So there you have it. The highlights and lowlights of a week with 300+ of your closest teenage friends. Makes you sort of understand why some animals eat their young.
I Heart You.
