It's funny, I've recently been reminiscing the days when I was working at my previous job last summer as camp councellor at a kid's camp, and I have to say in all honesty, that was probably the best job I've ever had. I loved working with the kids and although they were quite a handful most of the time (especially the boys) and drained you to the point of passing out, they were just so much fun! I don't know maybe it's their bouncy ceaseless energy, the fact that they are just so dang adorable, the ridiculous and funny things they say/do, playing with them.. they make me feel young again, haha well like a kid, they bring me back to the days of my childhood. Not only that, through my experience with these children, I learned to be a more stern and assertive person. I'm generally a passive, happy, patient person, but man can those kids push your last nerves over the edge! Goodbye doormat mcniceypants. I still love 'em. I love when they come up to you with their problems/rat out other kids and trust that you will fix them/bring proper justice, or when they actually listen to you, when they snuggle up to you and tell you they like you, the warm and fuzzy sense of accomplishment you feel when you teach them something new. The best is hearing their take on the world. Listening to their theories/beliefs about every subject known to mankind. Or even when they ask the most interesting and awkward questions that completely throw you off.
Ok so I just had to share these quotes, they are too funny!
Kids really do say the darnest things...
"Love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life." -- John, age 9
"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife." -- Tom, age 5
"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -- Mike, 10
"It's never okay to kiss a boy. They always slobber all over you. That's why I stopped doing it." -- Tammy, age 10
"Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work." -- Dick, age 7 (Although this came out of a kid's mouth, I feel it speaks volumes!)
"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck!" -- Ricky, age 7
"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." -- Erin, age 8
"Don't say you love somebody and then change your mind. Love isn't like picking what movie you want to watch." -- Natalie, age 9 (Another child who is wise beyond her years!)
"Give me a haircut like my dad’s – with a hole on top." -- Unknown kid.
Jack was watching his Mom breast feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"
Danni stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"
"A myth is a female moth."-- Unknown kid.
"Did you wash your hands?" 4year old: "No, but I licked them."
