Top Ten Things Most Likely to Happen at Dyeland’s Summer Camp
9. Exasperated, Tess quits her job at the craft hut after discovering the Dyelanders will only ever make stuff for Andrew and Monica will only ever make coffee mugs and assorted other coffee related products.
8. The Dyelanders, trying to show their love of Andrew, make smores for him. Not wanting to be impolite, Andrew eats one smore from each Dyelander. By the end of the week he’s gained 25 pounds and runs away screaming whenever he sees chocolate bars, graham crackers, or marshmallows.
7. Awkwardness ensues when, during a hike, Gloria insists upon sharing detailed information about the mating habits of every last species seen. TMI, Gloria!
6. On the last night of camp, the Dyelanders have a traditional Last Night Dance. Cafeteria tables are pushed back, soft music plays, handmade lanterns give the room an enchanting, romantic glow. Unfortunately, this is all in vain since Adam and Andrew are the only guys to attend. Sigh… so much for camp romances.
5. Adam has a conniption when some of the Dyelanders show up for swim lessons in bikinis. He thought strapless dresses were worrisome…
4. Phil decides to lead a small group on a nature walk. Somehow they end up in Zimbabwe.
3. A fight breaks out over who gets to be Andrew’s partner in the three-legged race.
2. When Andrew agrees to be the lifeguard, he’s stunned to find not a single Dyelander knows how to swim. This despite the fact that he’s almost positive they could swim before he was the lifeguard…
And...
1. The first day no one gets much of anything done because the Dyelanders spend a considerable amount of time staring at Andrew who is actually wearing shorts.
A couple songs to sing around the Dyeland camp fire:
If You’re Sappy
and You Know It
(Sung to “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re sappy and you know it, hug Andrew
If you’re sappy and you know it, hug Andrew
If you’re sappy and you know it
Then your sighs will surely show it
If you’re sappy and you know it, hug Andrew!
If you’re hyper and you know it, blame Monica
If you’re hyper and you know it, blame Monica
If you’re hyper and you know it
Your coffee cup will surely show it
If you’re hyper and you know it, blame Monica!
If you’re happy and you know it, sing like Tess
If you’re happy and you know it, sing like Tess
If you’re happy and you know it
Then your song will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it, sing like Tess!
If you’re crazy and you know it, then join JABB
If you’re crazy and you know it, then join JABB
If you’re crazy and you know it
Then your bucket will surely show it
If you’re crazy and you know it, then join JABB!
