Camp Clark Conversations

Back by popular demand, it's another episode of "Camp Clark Conversations". Thank goodness I write all this down as we hear their endless chatter. My mind could never remember all this, hence one of the main inspirations of our blog :)

Lindsey

"I don't want a vitamin" (as I hand them out after meal time).
Taylor sharply rebukes, "Then you're not growing!"

"I want some of that liquor that Grandma's got!
(VERY loudly in the bathroom at church during the VBS family night - Grandma had "licorice" stashed in her purse)

"Dylan, mom said if you don't clean up your toys, we'll just have to give them away. You don't want THAT do you?"
D - "no way, Jose!"
L - "right, so get cleanin'!"

"Hey Dad, what's a liberal?" (we assume our talk radio station has been overheard)
Dad - "It's people who believe in big government and robbing from Peter to pay Paul"
Taylor shouts out, "Peter & Paul........those are friends of Jesus!"

"Mom, do liberals want to spend the money in our piggy banks?"
Mom - "well, yes they do."
Lindsey looks deeply concerned, "do they live in Savage?"

(in yet another conversation a few days later) "Mom, do liberals live in North Dakota?"
Mom - "some, but not as many as Minnesota. Why do you ask?"
L - "I want to move to North Dakota tomorrow!"

Taylor

"I'm a fun-lovin' kind-of-a-girl!" (after Dylan tells her how much fun she is)

(at prayer time) Don't be so bossy, Dylan. Girls first!"
(as Dylan interrupts her and tells her to be quiet)

(again at prayer time) "I want to pray for all the bad people."
D - "but you should pray for only good people."
Taylor says firmly, "huh aah! The bad people need our prayers most!"

(as Dad and L & D head out the door to run a few errands)
Mom - "Taylor, why aren't you going?"
She smiles and says, "I didn't want you to be alone, mommy!"

T - "Dylan, am I your best friend?"
D - "yah!"
T - "can I be in your heart forever?
D - "Yah, yah, yah.......you are!"

Dylan

(as he peeks down Grandma Ione's shirt)
Grandma - "what are you doing, Dylan?"
Dylan a bit concerned, "I'm looking for ticks, Grandma."

"That girl's got a BIG butt!" (very loudly at the Elks Pool in Bismarck about a heavier woman in the locker room - we had a BIG talk after that rude and loud comment)

(a man at Lifetime Pool walks by with his swim trunks hiked WAY up to his chest)
Dylan asks VERY loudly "Mom, what's wrong with his SHORTS?"

(as a mom who happens to be a dwarf is dressing her children in the locker room at swim lessons)
"Mom, that woman is a BABY mommy" (once again, VERY loudly)

(as mom finishes singing two familiar songs, "Do-Re-Mi" and "Gotta go ta, North Dakota!")
Mom - "which song do you like best, Dylan?"
Dylan thinks about it, "hmmmmmm.........Neither of them!"

(on his scooter trying to get by the girls on their scooters)
"Move it! Come on! Geez......women drivers!!"
