The camp has a rabbit named Thumper.
His hutch is near the locker rooms so every day at
swim time the kids beg to go see him.
The kids LOVE to visit with Thumper and
secretly feed him leaves and other crap they find on the ground.
Well, guess what. Thumper died on Monday. We didn't really
tell anyone, didn't want to upset the kids.
So let me set the scene:
Yesterday, I'm sitting on a bench waiting for all the kids to
get changed after swim. I have about 10 kids surrounding me,
less than 6 inches away because that's how 8 year olds are.
They're like satellites.
Anyway, Mitchell (see below), one of Thumper's biggest
fans comes over and says;
Kerry?
Kerry?
Kerry?
Can we go see Thumper?
I say;
Oh, honey, come here, I think we have to have a talk.
Well, Matthew - another 8 year old who cannot spell
(and I know this because yesterday I caught him writing 'this place suks' on the wall ) says,
"HE'S DEAD".
Thanks Matthew.

Ouch! Sometimes I think kids can be a little too honest. :P What a way to find out though, huh? :(
Our rabbits name is thumper...want him? I'll pay for the flight.
Maybe you are Prego
Awwww. :-( I just posted *somewhere* about my old class fish...basically I brought it home for spring break & my cat opened the tank lid & ate him. Luckily I had a toddler class at the time & only one boy noticed. He said, "What happened to Yaroke?" and I said, "What do YOU think happened to him?" And the little boy gave some sort of answer that I can't remember but seemed to satisfy him at the time.
Sorry about Thumper. :-(
Don't you just love how blunt kids are? No tact at all....
OH Good Gracious alive.. what a demon with horns..... Poor Matthew... Poor Kerry!!!
OOPSS I meant POOR MITCHELL not armpit Matthew!!!
