Boy Scout Camp

Posted in Family

Spenser is at Boy Scout camp this week.  Keep in mind that he just got home from youth camp on Friday, and left again on Sunday.  He called me Sunday night on a friend's phone to tell me that his phone doesn't have a signal there, and please tell all his peeps that he is unavailable and don't waste their texts on him.  I haven't heard from him since.

OK I realize he is growing up and doesn't need his mommy, but hello?!?  I need him.  I know that the scoutmaster would call if something had happened, and so no news is good news, but I Just want to hear his voice and know what is going on at camp.  Is it fun?  Is he starving to death?  Is he safe and not drowned in the bottom of the lake from his swimming and/or motor boating class?  Ok, again, I know Mr. Neal would call me, but still.

I emailed another scout mom with this:

Have you heard from L____?  I haven't heard from Spenser since Sunday night, and while I am sure everything is fine, it is strange that he hasn't called.  His cell phone doesn't have a signal there, but he used someone else's Sunday.

Her reply:

L____ had to go to the hospital to get a few stitches, so yes, we’ve heard from him.  Unfortunately,  he did not give us news about Spenser.

Why do I not feel better?

stitches? Well, at least so far all you know is that your boy is having SUCH a great time that he can't call you.

right?

Congratulations! Welcome to life with a son. I had the same thing happen with mine. Even when he went to college, we had to establish our weekly call or we would never hear from him. Now, at 23, he's an old married man 10 hours away and it's still the weekly call. Sheesh! If it makes you feel any better, the girls seem to be much better about keeping in touch! :)
