vacation bible school

I asked Athen if he liked camp this morning. He said he didn't like it that much. "It was too long," he said. (It wasn't that long, 9-11:30am) I dropped it.

Later this afternoon I said, "Tell me about camp, what did you do?" Athen sighed and said, "Well, we looked at pictures of damage...."

At this response I start cracking up because he's 5, his tone is so serious and I realize immediately that he is generalizing images of what I assume are pictures of earthquake aftermath. But he misunderstands my laughter and says, " Mom, I said DAMAGE."
