Banana Phone

I met some folks at the beach today and, even though I took my cell phone out of my pants before getting wet, it still got waterlogged. Now I know where my next paycheck is going.

Turns out it wasn’t as bad as I expected. I think it was because I was a cute kid, but no matter. My service representative Jessica hooked me up with a new phone and battery for a mere $40.00. Much better than the hundreds I was expecting to have to pay.
I’m only sleeping

This summer, I’ve started to take naps in the afternoon. After a day of watching a bunch of kids, I can be quite tuckered.
If someone’s home with me at the time, I tell them I’m going to be napping as to reduce inadvertent sequences of awakening. Usually I say, “Good night,” but now I realize this goodbye is potentially inaccurate.
I take my naps from (roughly) 3:30PM EST to 5:00-6:00PM EST. Therefore, it’s not nighttime when I retire to my quarters.
What am I supposed to say, then? “Goodnight” doesn’t suit the situation, and “good afternoon” is typically associated with a greeting, not a declaration of absence.
You know it’s summer when I fret over silly things like this.

I work at a summer camp at my church counseling elementary-aged schoolchildren. A few days ago, a little girl of no more than 6 told a younger girl that she wanted to kill her and her family. Oh, the hilarity.
In other news, my car broke so we took it to the guy who’s been our mechanic for 3 generations. His name? Charlie Brown. Seriously.
