No YES, yes NESN

If there is ever a highlight reel of my life this summer might be left on the cutting room floor. Being a 25 year old unemployed social studies teacher who works at a day camp and lives in the upstairs floor of his girlfriend's parent's house is nothing to brag about.

Regardless, I am living in Red Sox nation as they say and adjusting. Here are some observations that I have noticed over the past week.

1. Fluffernutter. I have heard of it before but had no idea that it is a part of the food pyramtid for these kids. Peanut butter and fake marshmellow? marshmallow? Whatever it is, these little kids eat it up. According to wikepdia the fluffernutter might become the official sandwich of Massachusetts.

2. Drivers
When I am riding my bike they are courteous and patient. That is such a blessing. But seeing a car make a left from a parking lot is a wonder. Some lady driving a volvo wagon her husband bought her will start driving out of the lot regardless of the flow of traffic. She either A.) wants the car to get smashed so she can upgrade to the Lexus SUV or B. Knows that the other drivers will have to stop. So patience for cyclists struggling uphill, maybe its pity, but no way will they wait two minutes to turn.

3. Apparently I'm not funny

Well that's bullshit. I know I'm funny. However the people I work with dont really laugh at my stuff. It takes them awhile to get my humor. Very discouraging

4. What the hell are they saying?

Scallops, apparently pronounced Scal Lopps. I say it wrong and have been corected. Bubbler: a water fountain. Im sorry there are no bubbles coming from that thing. In dodge ball I hurt a kid's ahm, and later he was wicked thirsty.

5. Campers sing along

On the bus to a movie theater the kids asked to put the radio on. These kids are in third or fourth grade. Little guys and gals all ready to see the movie Wall E. The radio is on and I got a show.
I wondered if the parents of these kids would enjoy them singing along to I Kissed a Girl, Pussy Cat dolls or Flo Rida's Apple Bottom Jeans song. I asked a kid singing "Why is shorty getten low on the floor?" He just looked right at me then belted out "shorty got low low low.." I pray to God these kids dont grow up and have groupies.
