Will you hold my bug?

One of the most important things that happen at Reading Camp is the time the campers get to spend with their counselors at the pool, in the cabins at night, and just anywhere with them around camp. Many of the campers at Reading Camp especially love their counselors as their big buddies during the week. Here's one of those special moments, overheard this week during the break between morning reading centers.

Camper: "Hey man, will you hold my bug for me, be careful, it's got a flower on it."

Counselor: "What? I don't wanna hold a bug!"

Camper: "Sorry, man, I mean will you hold this flower, I've got my bug on it. See? It's right there on the leaves."

Counselor: "Yeah, but what kinda bug is it?"

Camper: "I don't know, just hold it, while I tie my shoe."

Counselor: "Ok, I'll hold it."

30 seconds later when the shoes are almost re-tied...

Camper: "Dude, did you see that thing fly away? I didn't even know it was the kind that flied!"

Counselor: "Yeah, sorry about your bug."

Camper: "That's alright, I'll get another one. Here, I'm giving you my flower."
