I heard on the radio, Dog ... that they have not detected any "tapping" since noon yesterday ...*sigh*
I was just watching the frantic efforts to save these miners ... and I thought ... frame by frame ... I was watching all that is the very best about our Country ... simple, hard men ... doing what needs/can be done ... even if they think the outcome will not be a happy one. Beautiful, really ...
Well...
Summer Camp is officially over for the year....
sighs...the kids enjoyed it. However, nothing can be simple anymore and today is no
different. The boys have been (ahem cough cough
cough) "sharing" their GameBoy Advance with each other since they got it last week. So of course they have been bringing it to camp with them (Mr. DJ inscribed their names on it with some kind of electric tool, I don't know how) and I kept telling them
every single day that they had better
NOT let anyone
else "borrow" it..well, today this classmate of Michael's
took the game right out of it!!! Mark tried to no avail to get it back, and when this kid would not
listen to Mark, Mark decided to
kick him to get his attention....well, he got attention, but it wasn't the kind he wanted. So while Mark was sitting in the
TIME-OUT CHAIR, off goes this kid with the game! Out the door, adios! And Mark is crying and crying and crying when I arrive...and the teacher says, "He got in trouble for kicking someone, and he's been crying ever since.." I thought to myself that this was unusual because normally Mark is not the type to be
physical unless it's the only option left to him. So, I asked him what happened, and he told me, and I told the camp people. Now, we just called the kid who took their game and I let the boys talk to him and his father and they told him he had it, and his father said, "Well...we're leaving to go on
vacation tomorrow, so we won't be able to get it to you until school starts."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT???????? The boys told me this and I got on the phone and told him that his son not only
took the game but now is
responsible for bringing it
back and wouldn't it be a great example for his son if he showed him that
the vacation could wait about 20 minutes while HE drove over here, OR I could send my husband there.....
It's coming home in a few minutes........:-)
