My last post was October of 2008... ? Yowch.
Just had a group from a camp called Eco-Explorers. They were between 7 and 9 years old and kind of rowdy.
A lot of times I ask silly questions to lighten the mood, make it fun, and more interactive. I'll mention that Mars is "way colder than your freezer," and then I'll ask "Can you live in the freezer?"
They'll sometimes chime back "No", or, if they are wiseasses (like this group), yell "Yes!" just to be annoying. It's cool, I roll with it.
I'll often come back with "Stay out of the freezer! You're not ice cream!"
Usually a couple of the wiseass crew will just want to egg me on with: "Yes I am!"
I'll say, "Oh, yeah? What flavor?!"
Usually they'll just yell back their favorite flavor of mint chocolate chip or cookie dough.
This time, I went through that whole exchange above and when I asked about the flavor, one kid yelled back, "People!"
I lost it... fell to the floor cackling.
