Well hopefully Kim has regained the privilege of using liquid soap again. Though I do like imagining Kim all grown up now and coming home to visit Mom and finding out that Mom has locked up all the liquid soap just to be safe.
Haha, I love this story. I fell for the soap opera opening, fully expecting a dramatic story with betrayals, lost love and surprise twins.

We're really at our most vulnerable when we're trying to please, aren't we? Age, gender and condition don't matter. Just that little gesture we hope will be well-received, that gets us the stares and the stories after you might never be privileged enough to hear.
I went to boy scout camp and refused to remove the a Michael Jackson pin from my uniform. The older boys tied me to a tree and smeared me in peanut butter. They released after the Raccoon got too frisky.
Whoo boy... I've been working on summers since my early teens to my twenties in an international youth camp (as a sound/video/IT/support guy). Let me tell you Kim, this is nothing to be embarrassed about. The things I've seen ten year olds do... kids are monsters. They frighten me to this day, just thinking about how they went home from that camp, and now they are somewhere on the streets... Those monsters are among us!

This story, however, is pretty nice
These campfire stories really make my childhood camping seem boring by comparison.
