Camp Clifford is Set to Open
Yesterday was the last day of school for Jake & Sam.
You know what is really weird?
We now only have one more kid left at high school age.
I still cut their meat for them!
(That's including the recent college grad).
I still peel their oranges if they appear to be having trouble.
(They all still have trouble).
Who the hell is going to do that when they're adults?
Answer:
Me!
Why would they leave Camp Clifford?
And it will be good to have them around the house a little.
Well...Sam...anyway...he looks around a little at least - fills a water bowl, mows, gets the laundry going.
But don't for a minute think that Camp Clifford will be rough for any of them!
This year we are featuring something new, evidently:
It's called:
Eat A Couple of Pizza's Immediately Following Dinner!
The other night I called them to dinner - their friend Quinn was with them - and they headed to the table carrying 3 pizza's!
I'm not kidding.
"What're you doing with those?"
"They're for after," Quinn said with a laugh.
Then they proceeded to sit down, eat an entire ham, 8 pounds of mashed potatoes and fruit and veggies.
An hour later they were eating the pizza.
By the time I went up to bed...
...the three boxes were empty.
Oh...another added feature here at Camp Clifford?
It's called:
"See if you can drink every single can of soda and every jug of Gatorade in the house before the camp counselor gets home!"
I don't even keep count of how many beverages are downed here on a daily basis.
Slobs!
When does school start again?
