Mr. Frogman sent me a letter from Boy Scout Camp that I just received. Talk about Snail Mail. Oh well, when I got the letter it made me laugh so hard I had tears running down my face. For camp his dad had bought him a tool kit that included all the tools Mr. Frogman had on his pocket knife or swiss army knife. So we decided to take the took kit back and Mr. Frogman opted for a waterproof watch instead. This watch he thought was so cool, it told the time and would light up at night. It had what the outside temperature was, and a small compass so he knew what direction he was headed in.
As I read his letter he explained, " I am having a great time at camp. I only have one problem, I lost my watch in the lake while I was swimming. It's not such a bad thing since the watch is waterproof now the fish could tell the time and the lake could know how cold it was."
I sat laughing at this since I know exactly how he would say it with a smirk on his face trying not to smile since he knew it was funny. I laughed even harder picturing him saying this to my face very matter of factly and doing his best to keep a poker face in the process. Since the letter was received while I was at work I had to explain why I was laughing so hard I was in tears. It was just too funny. One of those parental things I guess.
He is waiting for them to drain the lake since they do it every year to release the fish that are stocked into the river. They said they would probably find it at that time and return it since it is waterproof. We will have to wait and see if he gets it back. Not likely but you never know.
He had a lot more fun at camp and there is so much more to share.
I sent a little guy to camp and a young man has returned in his place that is alot more responsible than when he left. He is definitely growing up too fast.
I sure do miss this little guy and can't wait for him to come home. Only 3 more days!! Hooray!!!
