Went camping this past weekend, and wound up teaching my son a new phrase. "Shut it." It's oh so very charming, at 11pm in a tent, to listen to a 4 year old practice saying "shut it" with varying inflections.... "Shut it. Shut IT. SHUT it. Shut. It."

The drunker he got, the more his f*g vocabulary f*g shrunk, until he had, like only one f*g adjective f*g left. (Did you know that toaster ovens can f*k?) I didn't, until then. The last time I went camping, we forgot our tent. Yes, indeedy. Someone had to make an emergency run back home while the rest of us sat in the dimming light and increasing mosquitoes, waiting. Oh, and then the raccoons got into the cooler. And my period started. And there will be no more camping for my deprived kids. But they have lots and lots of camping memories from before, when I was young and resilient. And too poor for hotels.

It would both entertain my children and keep me cool. If it only served ice cream it would be perfect. I just want to say that there should be a talking fountain in my living room right now.

I anally pack everything just so, in the order we'll need to get at it, I insist that tents stay zipped and shoes are taken off upon entry and that playing happens out side, not in tents, and that people meals are simple, but after all that work I have fun. I am a total loser aren't I. Thing is they'll remember it, fondly, forever so it's worth it.

And I have to admit, although we have only camped a few times, there were no laser light shows there either. However, I'm thinking that it sounds like my kind of camping!
