I suspect it is Peru [mis]Information Week at camp.
Exhibit A. Yesterday Miss O announced, "Mama, I know some stuff about Pair-Roooo [Peru] that I bet you don't know. Did you know that they have ah-palk-ahs [alpacas] there? And capybaras. They are the biggest rodent runners, EVER. And there are no children in Pair-Rooooo. Nope. Because there are no, um, what are those places called where you learn stuff? Oh, yeah. Schools. There are no schools."
Exhibit B. This morning's conversation:
Me: Your counselors are just being silly - that's not true.
O: NO! It's TRUE - You don't believe me!!"
Me: Kid, the candies come from a factory, here in the United States.
O: NO. They. Don't.
Ooookay,
fine.
Andes Candies come from the Andes Mountains, Santa lives at the North Pole, and I have no cellulite whatsoever on my body... Sure, whatever. *eyeroll*
I can't decide if I am dreading or looking forward to tomorrow's installment of Untrue Facts About Peru.
