So, everytime I mention the cub scouts to Peter, he just gives me a wierd look and throws out a reference to Canteen boy.
He's Panamanian and there is some sort of Latin macho gene that takes over whenever he here those words. He thinks its wierd that a bunch of grown men and boys go out into the woods together...alone.
Which isn't the case, since most outings are with parents and most parents are Den leaders.
He says things like that to me mostly to get a rise out of me.
So, this weekend we had to go on a campout. I took Steven since his dad was going to be working. We slept in a tent outside and went hiking, learned how to tie a knot, did some Earth day cleanup, visited the police station, played kickball, soccer, baseball, and had the traditional campfire at night with songs and skits....I can see Peter shaking his head right now and saying, "Gay!" while he laughs at me to get me riled up.
So, because I was weathering the elements, I asked him to go get me a Chai Tea Latte at Starbucks (I know...I know..but they are SO addictive!)
He meets me at our tent and smiles and hands me my coffee.
A couple of minutes go by and he is still smiling.
Still smiling...
Finally, I can't take it anymore and ask him what he is smiling about..."Look under the sleeve," he says.
So, I look under the cardboard sleeve that is suppose to help protect you from the scorching hot coffee and this is what I find...
Just had to add one more dig with Canteen boy!
He's lucky I love him! Powered by AkoComment 2.0! |
