Transcript

We actually can't go swimming right before parent pickup because the river ran out of water. Did you guys know that the hose has a magic force field around it that prevents campers from touching it? No, we can't play that game right now because it's lunchtime and my legs stop working from when I start eating my lunch to when I end eating my lunch. If you don't wear bug spray and your tick spray, I told all the bugs that they should come and eat you first. I actually can't help you pick up all your trash because I'm allergic to trash and if I touch it, I get hives. No, I actually didn't bring those marshmallows to camp for you today. It was the magic woodland elf fairies. I don't have a crush on that staff member because actually all the counselors are siblings. It's so important that we drink our waters and I didn't drink enough yesterday and so I had to drink 10 gallons when I got home. The food in my lunch box is actually only good food to me and it would be really, really spicy to everybody but.
