BEDA 14: Casual monkey costume.

I was told to look casual. Hence the expression.
This week I realized I had an extremly small amount of things to do, so I asked a friend* if I could volunteer at some day camps for the kids' theater company that a bunch of my friends are involved with. I actually had a lot of fun because (1) these children were better behaved than choir camp kids and (2) the group of people running the camps were equal parts creative, chill and practiced at running camps. The building also amuses me, as it's in a former church but not completely church or theater company. In several place it looks like a theater company set up on top of the remains of partially decayed church apparel.

There was spy camp in the morning, which meant we had to create 'disguises' at one point so Hannah and I ended up in the monkey suits. I like the fact that I found so many ridiculous costumes that I could fit into. It was a unparalleled moment of joy, despite what you can tell from our faces.

*Actually, someone who is teetering on the edge between an acquaintance and a friend but after today I think I can safely say a friend.
Love,

    1. I feel bad that this is an experience that I have had and that you have not. Everyone should get a chance to wear a monkey suit.
