Aren't you a little old for the sprinklers?

The first week of camp is over and I am exhausted. I have been swimming 1o times this week! The plus side to this is:
a.) I am getting some physical activity.
b.) My tan is slowly coming in.
c.) My backstroke is improving.
d.) All of the above.

If you chose D you are correct!

I am still having a great time. I am doing all kinds of things that I would not have done if I were not working at the camp. Not only am I doing things that I would like to do, but I am doing them for free and getting paid to do it! This summer job is really a dream summer job.

Today we went to Brushy Creek Lake Park. It has a fun sprinkler park, a play scape, some sand volleyball courts, and plenty of picnic tables. First we had the kids play in the sprinkler park. While they were playing another group arrived. One guy caught my eye because he was one of the first to jump in the sprinklers with the kids.

After a few minutes of observation I discovered I knew him! He did his student teaching at the same school I did my student teaching at. We weren't friendly enough to be friends, but weren't strangers enough to be acquaintances. We are in that weird middle ground. I was confused as what to do. I know he noticed me, and noticed that I noticed him noticing me. Do I go say hi? Do I wave awkwardly? Do I ignore him? Do I go about my own business? Yes, I probably should have been paying closer attention to the kids, but:
a.) They were fenced in.
b.) I was sitting at the only exit.
c.) There was another camp counselor there with me.
d.) All of the Above.

If you chose D you are correct!

I talked it out with the other counselor I was there with and decided to go say hi. Can you guess what my opening line was?
a.) Hey! You!
b.) What it do player?
c.) Aren't you a little old for the sprinklers?
d.)All of the Above.

If you chose D you are wrong! The correct answer is C, also the name of this blog entry.

We caught up on the previous year. It turned out that not only were we first year teachers, but
a.) We were both male teachers.
b.) We both took a summer job working at a summer camp.
c.) We both teach 3rd grade.
d.) All of the Above.

If you chose D you are correct!

It's fun to see how much you have in common with people. After talking for a bit about our first year of teaching we parted ways. It is nice running into people you know. Believe it or not that happens to me a lot.

Well that is it for now. I don't know how many more multiple choice questions I can come up with.
