Water, of course...

One of our TAASC was teary with homesickness on Saturday evening. I had spoken with her, but then wanted the other students to help her out. One new student, a little guy with glasses and strong opinions said, "I don't think she's been happy all day. Even when we were paddling the best rapids. She wasn't talking or smiling or anything."

Another girl, who is annoyed by this new kid, chimed in, "No, you don't even know her... she's ALWAYS quiet. She wasn't sad all day. Just now."

The new kid suggested this next, "Well, she just needs to drink more. Drinking makes everyone feel better."

I held my smile, but Greg turned to me and said, "See, we're teaching lifelong lessons here."
