[Tax-chick]

I think you’d just confuse people.

And speaking of confused people, boys.

[Darksheare]

Uh oh, what did they do?

[Tax-chick]

Mixed their dirty clothes up with their clean ones, for one thing.

And with that, I’m off to more laundry, diaper changes, and hopefully an early bedtime. It was pretty uncomfortable in the tent this weekend. James snores.

[NicknamedBob]

They don’t have to do, they just are.

And this is before the testosterone infusion, for the most part.

[ThomasThomas]

Cornfusion is how they make white lighting.

[Darksheare]

Hormone induced confusion in larval humans, interesting.
I must study this in action.
*imagine it said in a mechanical voice.

[Tax-chick]

They don’t have to do, they just are.

Cornfusion is how they make white lighting.

Yes, and yes. However, there was no white lightning at the Cub Scouts campout, other than that generated by high-powered flashlights. Back in the day (when we still lived in Oklahoma) there was imbibing by adults once the boys retired, but it's against the rules now.

We had excellent weather. It got cold Friday night, and everyone with a coat was wearing it Saturday morning, but by 10:00 a.m., shifts were packing everyone's outerwear back to the campsites, and it was nearly 80 by late afternoon.

Saturday night was not as cold, and Sunday morning didn't require a coat once you started hauling loads of Stuff from the campsite to your car, a fair distance away.

Everything went quite smoothly, since we had a Camper with a Clue along, the Webelos 1 leader. He also cooked. The rest of us made ourselves useful (or a nuisance) with diligent effort. On our lost-in-the-woods walk (not a planned activity), we saw a ring-necked snake and a golden orb-weaver spider. And trees, rocks, and fungi. Our Cubs all recognize Red Cedar now.

[Tax-chick]

Come by any time. Bring experimental apparatus.

[Darksheare]

And worst German scientist impression.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, sure, that’ll make it more fun.

[ThomasThomas]

Political correctness offends me!

[Darksheare]

“Mom, he’s wearing a monocle and speaking weird!”

[ThomasThomas]

Does anybody wear monocle any more. Weird speech is common. Some is
more unique than others.

[ThomasThomas]

ubiquitous is a tough word for people have the same hearing disorder I have. When I don't understand a word I fill my own in the blank, kind of like a mad lib. It sounds like it should be a summer camp in New England Lake Ubiquitous.

[Tax-chick]

It just makes me tired.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, in this family nobody notices who’s speaking weird.

[Darksheare]

Monocles are exceedingly rare.
But stereotypical mad German scientist speak coming from me would be quite fitting.

[NicknamedBob]

"It sounds like it should be a summer camp in New England Lake Ubiquitous."

They probably have them all over the place.

[Darksheare]

Ah.
Camouflage in use beyond this point.

[Darksheare]

But minus the zombies, flesh eating deer, and door to door salesmen.
