About Permanence
Okay, so I know you all went to summer camp of
SOME kind at SOME point in your life. Odds are, at some point, you have been so
elated with a given experience that you begged and pleaded with the powers that
be (usually parents) to never send you home. Now, imagine for just a second,
that your parents actually said okay. Now at first thought, you might think this
was great, but eventually reality sets in. The realization that home, is no
longer home, becomes evident. Mom and Dad, aren't coming in their white Ford
Explorer to pick you up. The backpack full of clothes that you wore all week,
are now your permanent wardrobe, and the steady diet of Mountain Dew and
Butterfingers starts to sound. . .less appealing. The good news, and there is
good news, is that you get to hang out with your really cool camp counselor on a
regular basis. Arts and crafts time, is now
all
the time, and sleeping under the stars is still just as cool as it was a week
ago. This is the conflicted state of mind that I write to you in today. I am
smelly and excited, tired and forward looking. My head is held high, and I am
proud to tell you all, that I am staying at summer camp. . . forever. Thanks Mom
and Dad.
