Holly Blog 23: Parenting = Camp Counseloring

As a camp counselor, I feel like a glorified parent. At the moment, there are more counselors than there are kids—why I’m not sure. As long as they don’t send me home early or decrease my check or something, I’m fine. I just got used to all the bugs, dirt, excessive nature, dirt…bugs…dirt…and now I get to experience the newness of it all over again. I think that’s one of the reasons why God makes children. Right when you’ve experienced everything on the world and are about to get bored with life, you have the privilege to procreate (when done with correct timing and reason) and you get to see life from a different perspective.

When the students are freaking out over naturey-stuff, I get to be the big girl and say, “Yeah, the bugs are big, but they can’t kill you. No worries!...”
