A family friend is having a birthday party for her son tomorrow.  Her son is turning five years old and they have invited my kids to come spend the night in a “camping” party!  How exciting!  Seriously, the kids are pumped to go sleep in a tent in their buddy’s backyard.

But I had to bring the tent over tonight and set it up for her.  Now I like her very much but it sounds like she missed the planning boat.  Who the heck plans a “camping” party but has no tent?!

So we hung around over there for a while setting up the tent and visiting.  After the tent was up and we were visiting Gracie came up to us softly whimpering and crying.

It was so sad!  I had no idea what happened.  Normally if she’s crying and wants to be picked up its because she’s fallen or someone hit her or an anvil dropped on her head or something.  But she was fine!

Eventually she started pointing to the tent and making snivelling noises.  She was upset because she thought we were going to sleep in the tent!!

I had no idea she was so badly affected by camping!

Amazing.
