BOOK #41

I went to away camp. I loved it. And yes, I wrote these kinds of letters. So I naturally had to read this when I saw it on amazon.com. It only brought back tons of memories. Probably my funniest letters were the first one or two during my adjustment to camp. Where I hated it and the people and was sad and lonely. I was ten, after all. And after that, it was always about sending candy or money or letting me stay the rest of the summer. My parents never let me stay the whole summer - with my mother always telling me she missed me too much! hahahahahahaaaaa - that wasn't the truth but it was nice of her to say it. How could she miss me when there were still 3 at home? She probably didn't even know I was gone.

Nonetheless, the letters are hysterical and some are quite involved with drawings, escape maps, death threats while others are barely letters. I know I smiled through the whole book.

I'm always encouraging people to send their kids to away camp. It lets kids be kids. It lets them, for the first times in their lives, find their own identity. But parents are horrible people these days and refuse to let their kids out of their sights. I feel bad for the kids, I really do. It's a real shame for any kid to miss out on camp.
