A girl was complaining loudly to her friend that despite the fact that she'd already taken and aced half of her finals, her mom wanted to get to spend the whole weekend studying for the rest of them. Though she did study all day she wanted to go out and celebrate what she had already accomplished. Then her mom called to check on her and her study group.

My dad has told me a story of when his family went on a camping trip, and a group of bikers set up in the next camping plot. My grandparents were nervous they would be an issue, or even just an annoyance with the loud bikes they rode. That night my grandfather had a mild heart attack. The camp grounds were in this tiny town in the middle of nowhere, so he kind of just had to "tough it out" (this was back in the 50's/60's). Not only were the bikers helpful in getting my grandfather safely into the tent, the next day when a group of rowdy college students were blaring music and making a raucous, the biggest biker of the lot got up into the face of one of them and said "That man in the tent over there just had a _heart attack._ Have some respect." They never made another peep.

I remember in 5th grade during camp that almost everyone had a 'special stick' (including me, as a girl). I had a long but broken one that i had made a SPEAR out of. By the time we left it was mildly pokey, because all i had was the concrete to sharpen it. It was also half stripped by then. There was a kid that always call himself a rat, and he became the rat king with his staff. Another guy was deemed gandolf by the music teacher and pe teacher as they were also there.

0:38 My middle school best friend and I used to do this when the bamboo growing in her back yard got too dense and her mom told us to go cut like 90% of it away. We'd cut pieces just long enough to use as swords, and just wail on each other until one of the pieces broke, then we'd go cut a new piece just to do it again. The bruises we'd get were our badges of pride. Funnily enough, neither of us were dudes, so being stupid really is just a human thing (she's female and I'm pangender nonbinary)

[@alexisgrunden1556]

The bruises are surprisingly good teaching aids for kids who want to practice swordplay; they teach you how to dodge and block~ Wish I could have done this as a kid; all my grandmother's yard had were blackberry brambles (delicious, but NOT good swords!) and our yard had Japanese knotweed (too soft to use for swords...or anything, really)
