Special campers=special conversations

So, some favorite (not-so-exactly-verbatim; you just can't ever capture it the way it was said in the moment w/ these hilarious people) conversations from Service Partnership out at camp this year:

Leisha and Pam:
L: Hi, Pam.
P: Hi, Pam.
L: I'm Pam?
P: That's right, hi, Pam.
L: You're Pam, too, Pam.
P: I'm Pam? (Moment of confused silence.) You like to tease me. You're not Pam, I'm Pam.
L: Ok, Pam.
(Repeat as desired)

Leisha and Katherine:
L: Hey, Katherine!
K: Well hey, girl!
(Every conversation started out like this... always a "well hey, girl!" as though we were the oldest of gal pals. I loved it!)

Paul Macy and Kathy (two special campers from the same group home) got legally married the Friday before camp started. They both came to camp with stuffed monkeys hanging around their necks like necklaces... one white monkey, like Paul, who's white, and one black monkey, like Kathy, who's black. As could be expected, Paul's monkey was named Paul. Makes me wonder what became of his stuffed animals from years past, of course, all named Paul.

Jeffrey and Leisha:
J: Alisha! (will he ever get my name right?)
L: Yes, Jeffrey?
J: Did anybody ever tell you you look just like Ellen Degeeeeeneres?... or maybe Meg Ryyyyan? (Slow and drawn out.)
(Repeat about fifty times a day. And every time somebody else comes around us, expect for him to let everybody else know that I look just like Ellen Degeneres or maybe Meg Ryan.)

Reggie and Leisha:
L: Hey, Reggie, buddy! What's up, man?
(Big hug)
R: Well you know sweetie, just stoppin' by to say hi to my girlfriends, you know how it goes, gotta give 'em some lovin', you know, baby?
L: Yeah, for real. So what have you been up to, buddy? Been keepin' busy?
R: Yeah, I'm been playin' some sports, you know.
L: Oh, right on. You been playin' some football?
R: Yeah, I'm been playin' some football.
L: Who you've been playin' with?
R: Well I've been playin' with the Kansas City Chiefs, of course.
L: Oh, yeah! Of course. Man, that's great. Well it's sure great to see you. You look great.
(Another big hug.)
R: Yeah, just had to come visit my girlfriends, you know?
L: Yeah, you've got plenty of them to visit, man.

Paul T and Leisha:
P: Hey, buttercup.
L: (Thinking: did he REALLY just call me BUTTERCUP!?!?)

Judy:
"I'm gonna tell Bobby on you, gonna tell him you've been teasin' me."

Armor and Leisha:
L: Hey Armor, how you doin'?
A: (Pause.) WONderful. (Silence.)
L: You want some water?
A: (Pause.) NO.
L: You OK, Armor?
A: (Pause.) YES.
L: Did you have a good time at camp this week, Armor?
A: (Pause.) YES.
L: Are you gonna miss us, Armor?
A: (Longer pause.) NO.
L: (Inner laugh... oh, man... Armor conversations are far, far, far too much fun...)

Kerri:
"I like this." (Referring to camp.)
