Cutest Camper of All Time

I have a lot of favorite campers, but this camper might just be my favorite of all time. On Tuesday, he brought be a letter and asked if I could email it to his mom. Parents can send one way emails to their campers through our registration system. We print them out every day and the kids get them at lunch. His mother had emailed and told him to have fun, be safe, get enough rest and make lots of friends. His response-
"Mom I will do that. Will you send 8 dollars for the next two days.
There is a really good thing."

He had started the week with $25 in his camp store account, but he went through it quickly. I told him I would email her and we would see what she said. I scanned his letter and emailed it to her. 

She emailed me back right away and told me that his letter had made her day and that she had put $16 into his account. 

I went to the camper and told him his mom had responded and we had the following conversation-

"She put $16 in your account."-me
"$16??!?!?" (absolutely dumbfounded)
"Yep, $16, she must really miss you." -me
"I just can't believe it. I mean, $16..." (shaking his head)
"Why are you so shocked?" -me
"I didn't want her to waste her money on me!"
"Well, maybe you can buy her a present with the extra money." -me
""That's what I wanted the $8 for!"

So cute. Just so cute.
