With summer camp comes the chance to work at an elementary school and be reminded of the joys young children bring.
Joy 1: Their willingness to have fun and engage with English
Joy 2: Reminding me that young kids are monsterous selfish ego machines who clamour to consume everything they are allowed to lay their hands on.
Joy 3: Manditory thank you cards.

| Children are honest enough to tell you that the best part was when you left and they got to eat a donut, but well trained enough to feign guilt about it. |

| Daniel hopes I will stay, but he makes sure I don't get confused and mistake his hope for beer, which is a very valid concern. |

 |
| He's just trying to be strong, I'm sure. |

| This little boys wants us to hang. He wants us to be buds. He is dropping his digits and repetedly told me "teachah call me" making a phone with his pinky and thumb while slouching as he emphasized the word 'call' in a manner that conveyed "we are gonna rip this town UP!' |

| He ups the gangsta on the other side of his card. He's got rockets and he wants to know WHER'S YOUR'S HOUSE? |
 |
| Here we have that little girl that you remember from your days in elementary school. She does everything best. |
 |
| 1. CUT OUT HEARTS. 2. GLUE ON HEARTS. 3. ??? 4. PROFIT |
 |
| Stop child. Hidden words? This is why everyone is going to resent you in three years. |
 |
| "I really like it when you my favorite part of camp as I love you" Now that is an English sentence. |

 |
| Finally, the real hero gets the acolades he so richly deserves. |
