In disgrace
posted in Uncategorized |Okay, I have to say that I really don’t remember hearing the camp folks saying “No toys allowed”, especially since they had quite a discussion about taking video games away if kids overused them at lunch.
I also have to say that I told the dotter, multiple times this morning, that she had to put Calhoun (her favorite stuffed doggie) into her backpack whenever she was done playing with him.
I must add that I totally forgot that she took Calhoun with her this morning.
So, when OmegaDad and the dotter returned home from camp this evening, and the dotter was down in the mouth and sucking her thumb, and I asked her what was making her unhappy, I didn’t expect to get lectured myself.
Ahem.
Anyway, OmegaDad was very grumpy. Apparently, he and the dotter were driving home from camp, and halfway home, the dotter asked if he had “remembered to get Calhoun”. They got back to camp just in time, as the last camp counselor was walking out the door. They found Calhoun.
Calhoun just happens to also be OmegaDad’s favorite of the dotter’s stuffed animals.
So I am in the doghouse for not remembering that camp doesn’t allow toys to be brought from home. (Even though they specifically mentioned that they will confiscate video games if any kid “overuses” one. Did I mention that before?) The dotter is in the doghouse for taking a toy and for forgetting it.
Aside from that, camp is amazing. The dotter loves it. She sleeps like a log every night. We love that.
But I am in disgrace. Wah!
