Why Would You Do That??

There was a contest in the local Rutherford County Parents magazine where you could win an American Girl package that includes Kanani the new girl of the year. For Hannah this is about the best prize you can imagine, right on up there with a brand new car!  Anyway we went to the site to register for the prize and they had several other contests going on as well.  One contest was for a two week tuition at an all girls summer camp.  Girls ages 6-16 could attend the camp and have all kinds of adventures!

I jokingly asked Hannah if she wanted me to register for the camp and she answered: "What is summer camp?"

I explained that girls go for two weeks to "camp" and spend the night, play outdoors, do crafts, etc.

She gives me a horrified look and says : "Why in the world would you want to spend two weeks away from your Mommy?  Especially if you're only 6 years old?"

I told her I didn't understand it either and I would never let her go, at least not until she's about 15.

It just struck me as too funny that she was so appalled at the fact that children actually do these things. Man she's so great and I'm so lucky to be her Mommy!
