Memories

My facebook timehop showed me a memory today. I had posted about a kid biting another kid. "How did he taste?" I'd asked him. "Sweaty" was the answer.

That was 6 years ago!

I thought I was going to have to send that kid home. He was NOT an easy kid. I called his mom at least 3 times through the week. And when she registered him the following year, I considered telling her he couldn't come back. But I didn't, and he came back and he was less obnoxious that year. He came back the next year and the next, and each year, he got less obnoxious and more enthusiastic about camp.

And now he's back (this week!) for his 6th summer of camp. He's back as a leader-in-training. He's been talking about "when I'm a counselor in a few years" for the past 2 summers. He is PASSIONATE about camp.

I laughed so hard when that memory popped up. I would NOT have predicted he'd be back six summers in a row and that I would be excited to see him!
