My news of the our day is a short story. I just barely walked in from a fun-filled weekend at FCYD= Foundation for Children and Youth with Diabetes. Sooo...a diabetes camp for kids--for fun! I was the counselor with "two others" over eight girls ranging in ages from 8-12. Our weekend is filled with activities including snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, dancing, relay races, zooing, and oogling at the opposite gender.

The resort where we do the first few activities is about 30 minutes from where our camp is located, so obviously, we'd need to kill time. Many people volunteer to help shuttle the kids to and from places we go to since many of the staff are not car-ful or age-ful. (ha ha, I mean they aren't carred or aged)

A nice middle-aged man had offered to shuttle my girls, co-counselors, and myself to the resort Friday morning. Along the way, a suggestion from the back (yes, I did call shotgun no battle) is proclaimed "Let's play the alphabet game!" Everyone got excited for the idea and asked for instructions on how it's done.

"You start with the letter A and you go through the alphabet naming fruits and vegetables....for example A:avocado, B: banana, C: carrot....so on"

Ready. Go.

"Apple."
"Banana."
"Asparagus."
"Carrot."
"Avocado."

Fail. New idea. Let's name as many fruits and vegetables that start with the letters just A.

"Apple."
"Asparagus."
"Avocado."
"Apricot."

Silence filled the van. Then it was broken with an excited answer:

"Anchovies!"

Our driver breaks into laughter for these delightful cute kids I had as camper and the impression of "Kids say the darndest things."

If only he knew.....it was one of my co-counselors.....who happens to be in culinary school.

Oh, to be in the life of Kat.
