Michaels: Awesome, learning so much, everyone is so friendly! What about you Adams?
Adams: If you told me that camp could be this much fun, I wouldn’t have believed you!
Michaels, rubs tummy: And the food! . . Wow, I think I like put on 10 pounds last night at chow time.
Adams: Know what I like best?
Michaels: Doing crafts?
Adams: Well that’s awesome too but my favoritest thing is sitting with the Sergeant and the rest of the staff, talking about the General and the plans he has for his army.
Michaels: You are so right on! And how we can always trust the General, no matter what.

Hunkalunk: For a fact.
Michaels: But there has to be enough in there to like . . feed an army, actually.
Hunkalunk: Umm, (whispers) private person . . look around . . this is for sure like . . the army.
Michaels: I know Hunkalunk, but you are only one person!
Hunkalunk: Like my Momma always says, I be a growin’ boy, needs my snacks to grow on.

Hunkalunk: Momma.
Adams: You mean way back in . .
Hunkalunk: In Goose Feathers, Iowa, for sure.
Michaels: And you have been travelling how long.
Hunkalunk: Last four days on the PWC bus.
Michaels: PWC would stand for . .?
Hunkalunk: Pretty Wobbly Coachlines as I recollect.
Adams: And after all this time you still plan to eat these sandwiches.
Hunkalunk: Nothing quite compares to Momma’s fried egg sandwiches I tell ya! . . Before I left Goose Feathers, Iowa I wondered, could I trust the folks here at Camp Follow-You to keep me proper fed, so my Momma says, “why don’t you bring lots of fried egg sandwiches along in case you go and get hungry?”
Michaels: And you trust that the sandwiches will still be OK to eat five days later?
