This is a list. A list of how many kids are in each group. Which groups are on each bus. How many kids that makes. The scribbles, cross-outs, and corrections reflect the comings and going of kids at camp, keeping track of how many kids we have/should have at the water park we go to. This list was made by the other director at day camp. The details, the attention paid to keeping it updated, has been wonderful these past two times he's been in charge of counting. Why is this what made me smile today? Firstly, because I am glad that he is willing to make the effort to keep tabs so closely, and leave so little to chance. Secondly, because in all of his zealousness for keeping track of the kids, today, my camp managed to leave WITHOUT me...They left me behind! Why does that make me smile? Because. Firstly, it amused me that my fellow director was so focused on the kids, he managed to forget me. Additionally, it was nice to be able to drive myself to the pool. It was a quick break before and after swimming. I got to listen to the radio, and didn't have to tell a single person to sit down in their seat. Not to say that I hope I get forgotten often, but it was a little nice to be forgotten today... :)
