Kids at camp write home not thinking of the impact of their words:

For example, one tyke wrote: "My counselor said he doesn't think the flood waters will come up this high."

Another child away from home wrote that they had been taking some rather long hikes. He requested his other sneaker be sent to him.

A rather short note not saying much was received by two parents: "Dear Mom & Dad, They're making us write home. Love, Thomas"

A fishing novice reported that he had caught a catfish over a foot long and hid it in his bunk, but it was beginning to smell.

"Dear Mommie, The Doctor said the rash should go away by the time camp is over."

"Having a wonder time. We swim, camp, hike and play games. After lights out we cry ourselves to sleep every night."

"Dear Mom & Dad, Everything's fine except a lot of the girls here have dire rear."

"Dear Mom, This place is neat. I've seen some of the biggest snakes ever! How many can I bring home?"

"Dear Mom, I'm hungry all the time. Please send me more food. All they serve here is meals."

"Dear Mom, Computer Camp's lots of fun. My counselor showed me how to see what the Army's doing. Tomorrow we get to read CIA stuff."
