Camp Lunch
Most of you, my dear readers, know that I am working as a lifeguard at the Riviera Club this summer. While my job mostly consists of sitting in a chair watching the pool, I occasionally get more interesting tasks. One of my favorite jobs is camp lunch. Every day, two lifeguards get to have lunch with the camp kids so the camp counselors can take a much needed break. Today, I was one of the two privileged guards.
I was thoroughly enjoying conversing with the children on interesting topics, such as what I should name my seven children, when one of my favorite little girls asked what day it was. I said that it was the first day of August, which is very exciting because my birthday is in August. We then began discussing what I should do for my birthday. It was fairly unanimous that I should have a pajama party. Allie, a little girl who draws me a picture every day, told me that if I invited her to my birthday party, she would buy me a vacuum cleaner. I guess that's what little girls think that grown-ups want. I told her that I would love to have a vacuum cleaner, but that vacuum cleaners cost a lot of money. She wasn't fazed. "I know, but I have a lot of dollars and quarters in my piggy bank," she explained. I just wanted to hug her. I knew that if she could, she would take every one of her dollars and quarters and buy me a vacuum cleaner. I'm going to miss these kids so much when school starts.
