abduction.

this cadence camp is my second of the summer of 2010. throughout these two camps, i have learned two very vital things. one. if a kid has dimples, their cuteness factor is immediately hightened. two. if my kid does have dimples (which it must or i'm giving it back) i will not send it to camp, because im afraid that the counselors will kidnap it.

this fear comes from a very real occurance, for eric and i are currently plotting the abduction of our favorite little boy camper named rye. like the catcher in the. or bread.

he has dimps. freckles. curly hair. chubby cheeks. all of his teeth. im not a fan of the whole "loosing teeth" fase of childhood. and a gruff little voice. and we want him.

its getting slightly out of hand. we took pictures with him that we plan on putting on our christmas card when we become a family. we considered adoption as an option because his parents have another blonde haired kid to fill the void. but theres all that paperwork.

while watching a movie with the campers yesterday, eric and i cornered rye. and we so had him. no other adults in the room, most of the other kids were in a trance from the movie, and there was a trashcan nearby to mask the actual snatch. the plan was to slip him into his sleeping bag, then zip it up, (gently) toss him in the trashcan, and then "take out the trash" while really relocating him to sheila franklin, also known as the getaway car.

i actually dont remember why we didnt go through with it. i think it was because of rye's slight reluctance to get in his sleeping bag. we wanted this abduction to be as pleasant as possible.

after all, he was going to become our child.
