More on Brat Camp
Thu Aug 04 2005

So, on one part of the show last night, they had a "naming ceremony" for the kids and one of the boys received the name of Reluctant Bison Charging. When it was done we headed upstairs for bed and #1 started to proclaim “I am RELUCTANT …”

I interrupted with “… PENGUIN STRAINING!”

Everyone got a good chuckle out of it except #1 who was horrified that I would even think of something like that. His image of his mother has now been tarnished, and it is possible that he will now need years of therapy.

Excellent.

    We are enjoying Brat Camp so much. I was set to pretty much hate the kids and enjoy seeing their fear. But before the second episode was over I liked most of them and was rooting for them.

    Not too sure I can say I like Jada yet though.

    that reminds me of the time we were driving down the road, a great song came on the radio and I started dancing in the seat. My son told me that I was scaring the other drivers. I told him they couldn't see me. He said "in that case YOU are scaring me!". I stopped dancing but I did get tickled about it. Therapy...I am sure their dad and I both have managed to provide a few years. LOL!

    I agree...excellent! :)

    Oh my stars. I watched that show last night.. And I cried.. I bawled.. When they named that kid young hawk and Insightful hawk and fire fox and obsidian snow-leopard. (sp). I just cried.. all the stories fit the kids
    It was an emotional day for me anyway.. I don't know why I cried.??. I just did.. Also cried today at therapy..(with GS)
    Something is wrong with me
    I thank you for pointing me to this show.. I told GS next week I would like him to watch it with me.. he said no thanx.. But I'll keep buggin him
    I was wondering..how do you get your kids to do things with you when your hubby is not there? I mean if they want to go out with friends.. and you would rather they do something with you, do they pitch a fit or just mind you???
    Yeah.. I'm piggy backing..
    ;)

    We've been watching it too. What I learned about myself is that I am more easily manipulated than I thought and that I need to stay calm and stand firm when dealing with nasty behavior.

    Did you know the camp was in eastern Oregon? Mark looked it up. I think he was filing away the info just in case. LOL It is expensive though; about $450 per day.....ouch!

    I remember something like this happening with the measles vaccine. I think there was a 20yr gap there that required people to get another booster. Yep, I fell in that gap as did most of the people who got those shots in the 60s. This was back in the 80s. Later, the university I attend back then started requiring vac. records for attendance. Pretty wild. Guess I'd better check with my kids school district.

    Have a great weekend! :D
