what makes you laugh?

[Ma Huang Sor]

I'm not sure whether this made me laugh or freak out more. I'm thinking laugh...

My son was at a very expensive skate camp this past week. Each cabin was awarded points for the neatness of their cabin each morning and the cabin with the most points won a pizza party. My son confessed today that his cabin members (8 or so boys) went and trashed the cabin that won the pizza award. They spilled waters, scattered candy on the ground and generally made a mess of the cabin. One kid stuck a mattress in the shower.

I'm disturbed, perturbed and kind of amused. I told him I would have KILLED him if I got a call from the camp kicking him out. But wtf, if that's not camp fun, I don't know what is.

Hm. I'm torn. I can't decide if that is good, clean fun or bad sportsmanship and vandalism. Guess the standards aren't the same at skate camp...


At least he didn't come home with tales of an homoerotic experience.

Next time you tell the story, leave out the part about the camp being expensive. It makes it sound like you paid so your kid can do whatever...

It was expensive and if he'd gotten kicked out I would have been irate.
I'm with you on the clean fun or juvenile delinquency/bad sportsmanship. Still pondering that. He's usually a good kid so...I'm inclined to write this one off.

When one of my kids did that when they were 16 he had to go through diversion to avoid being charged with felony destruction of property, so your mileage may vary. That's the only time they ever acted like that so...
