They do make me laugh... even at 6:30 AM

Yeah we got a bigger bunch at camp, a little harder to settle in and settle down, but by 12:30 they were pretty much passed out. They're all up now... some talking in a low sleepy voice, others all "YAY MORNING YAY CAMP." At this point I'm somewhere in the middle.

I awoke this morning at 6:30, well before my 6:50 alarm. (we have late breakfast, so we can afford a couple more winks in the morning). As I stumbled out of my room, I glared down the hallway... what did I see? A young man, fully dressed, back pack firmly on his shoulder, standing tall (all 4 feet), the sun beams passing by his roomate's heads (who are peering out the door) and illuminating him as he stands, heroic.. awake. I swear I heard the Superman theme playing softly. "Derrick?" I said, "Why are you up and dressed??" (I didn't say it as much as barely mumble it at the top of my 6:31 voice) "HE GOT UP THINKING IT WAS 7:30," said one of his sidekicks, still just poking their noggins out of the doorway. "I didn't know what time it was, so I got up and I'm ready to go!" said Derrick.

I laughed, quietly thanked God for the awesomness of kids, then told em to chill out. "DUDE, we coulda slept," came from the Dormroom of Justice as I walked down to the shower. They do make me laugh...

Addendum... 4 guys just walked in. I won't say who it was. I will if you ask me later. "DUDE MR. CHRIS, THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED." Sure that A) ghosts don't exist and B) they don't like mornings... I said, "What?" "I took this picture last night of 3 guys in our room," said Ghostbuster 1 "There's an arm from another guy in the picture I SWEAR." Ready to get my proton pack to capture the spectre, I gazed at the pic. Apparently Ghostbuster 4 had his arm around the shoulder of Ghostbuster 3 in the picture, a cover from the bed stuck out just a bit to hide his arm, just showing the hand. "SEE THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON IN THE ROOM." Said Ghostbuster 1 and 2. Now they're trying to prove there was no mystery green towel or cover or something to cover the arm... none are getting coffee this morning.

It's gonna be a fun day :-D
