About fifteen minutes after Belinda's fall off the
swing, the family began packing up the tents. While mom and dad were busy
folding tents, Belinda found a knife. Ah yes, I fear you see what is coming.
Knives are not the sort of thing a girl on 8 hours sleep who is falling all over
the place should be holding.
However, neither mom nor dad had any idea this was
taking place until. "Oh! I cut my finger." Whine, pout, walk funny, cry, etc.
Unfortunately, Mom could not get the bleeding to stop so they had to go visit
the campground hosts, who were quite nice and helped out greatly.
Here is the final profiteering of the trip. The
campground hosts gave us three coupons for free happy meals at Burger King
(approximate value $12). They also gave us coupons for three free ice cream
cones at the local ice cream joint (approximate value $5.50).
In all, the kids made $22.50 on the camp trip! We
all agreed that Belinda cutting her finger was totally worth it.
