| And one day
we took them to Hershey Park.
One thing I forgot to make
clear: the camp didn't use charter bus service. They had their own old,
hot, smelly bus that may have, at one point or another, been owned by one
of the major bus charter companies. But by this point it was on its last
legs (wheels?) and was badly in need of being replaced.
The trip up to Hershey went
fine - besides the general hot, sticky environment the bus was. But
by this point in the summer, myself and my fellow counselors had already
gotten use to that, and our days of begging upper-management to shell out
the dough for charter bus service were long behind us.
During our time at the park,
the staff spoke nervously amongst themselves that all the chocolate consumed
by the campers during the day would lead to a ride home containing 50+
sugar-high kids. What actually happened was the exact opposite, actually,
as the sugar high was over by the time the kids boarded the bus to go home,
and the majority of them fell asleep before we left the parking lot.
The problem with this? Some
of the campers were young. VERY young. Like, bed-wetting young. And the
parents had decided not to inform us of this, because, hey it's a DAY camp,
and it's not like they're going to be spending any time in bed, right?
So we had a hot, sticky bus,
filled with exhausted, bed-wetting children who'd spent the majority of
their day sucking down chocolate milk-shakes and weren't smart enough to
use the bathroom before they left.
So about fifteen minutes
into the drive, we're dealing with three campers with soaked shorts. The
bus reeks of urine, a vile stench that only became stronger as A) the bus
got hotter, and B) more kids wet themselves.
As we neared the end of the
trip, and finally got all the kids cleaned up, I sat in my seat, shirt
over my nose, praying I would never have to take a bus that wasn't run
by a charter bus service ever again, when I feel a slight drip on the top
of my head.
One of the campers had bought
a six-pound chocolate Hershey kiss. And he had stored it in the overhead
compartment right above my head. Oh, and in case you don't see where this
is going, it had melted.
And you know who ended up
cleaning it up? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't the campers.
