My son wrote this to a friend in an email and I thought it worth      posting

       Tok pisin vbs is going on over here and ive been involved in        that. Its over now whooohooo. Dont get me wrong, its a lot of fun,        but its sooooooo exhausting. I worked with a group of younger        kids. They were really a handful, but they were also really funny        and nice. Some of my favourites in the group were Joel (his name        is joel but he pronounces it Jo-el), delma a sweet little girl who        grew really attached to me over the last week, and marli. Marli is        a little guy who kept on bringing me rocks and calling them his        "stippin" (Turns out he was trying to say they were good skipping        rocks, but with most of his top teeth missing, it's really hard to        understand him). Oh yeah, he also bit my knee for some reason,        although it didnt really hurt. Anyways, as usual, vbs was fun but        very draining. I miss you a lot.

      On a side note, words like 'draining' and 'exhausting' should not be      spoken by children.  Not unless their holding a decaf frappecano in      one hand.
