10th grade boy: “Do you know the singer Mellancamp?”

Me: “Yes”

10th grade boy: “I know his kids.”

Me: “Huh?! How?”

10th grade boy: “They go to the summer camp I go to in Indiana.”

sometimes the randomness amazes me

By the way, Culver, a summer camp in Indiana is huuuge with upper class students in Latin America. We had a lot of students from Honduras who went there and now a lot of our Ecuadorian students go there too. It always cracks me up a little that my students from abroad go to a summer camp just a few hours from where I used to live.

Culver also makes me think of a funny kid quote from last year:

Me: “Where’s Culver?”

8th grader: “Chicago”

Me: “Well not really in Chicago right?”

8th grader: “No, it’s outside of Chicago, like on the border with Canada.”
