The Dinner

Posted in CampSky by Dom on October 12th, 2007

The Summer School CampSky fundraising dinner. I heard it went well but I don’t actually know. I was holed up in a hot back room with 17 kids, age ranging from 1-13. It was a time. Can’t say I ever liked babysitting before, and this wasn’t really a change in the status quo. Still not too pleased. Jenn and Jared helped and withuot them, there probably would have been no babysitting. I would have just kicked up my feet while those kids ran around tearing up Dale’s house and I watched “The Jacket” on some 5-movie dvd we brought to watch “Robots.”

We took them outside a time or two. One kid started punching kids. He was a spaz. I almost punched him. We gave them spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner and coke. Some lady came out and yelled at us about giving coke to her kids. One of who was the spaz. I realized it was a bit late to giving caffiene only as the lady complained. I was told when I went to get them water, that she started asking Jenn if she had any experience/references and new any kind first aid. She told her dale has her CV and she’s an EMT. Apparently the lady shut up pretty quick. I was proud. I probably would have fumbled with some brown-nosing remark or just snapped. “Oh it’s definitely one or the other!” Besides that kind of stuff for 4 hours I guess it went well. Except apparently a lot of people seemed to have gotten food poisoning. Vomitting, loose bowels, and all that. I’ve been fortunate in that I was spared. I think Jenn and Jared were too. I guess that’s the just desserts for those others leaving 2 and a half people(with me involved) to watch 17 kids only to stop in once in a while to gawk at the absurdity of the situation as opposed to letting us eat or drink or something trivial like that. Oh well, bitter me. I guess there was some money made too. yay.
