You can’t fool a mom Mountaintop Youth Camp, situated high above Pinnacle, N.C., holds fond memories for me. Camp was jam-packed with activities, and counselors often had their hands full particularly during Teen Week. One such week after evening devotions, my friend Sherry and several fellow campers put their heads together, snuck into the cabin’s bathroom and stole the showering counselor’s clothes and towel. Sherry proceeded to hand out Pop Rocks to throw at the dripping wet counselor as she exited the bathroom. Soon we heard wails of, “Okay, where are my clothes?” Minutes passed before Counselor Nancy appeared, wrapped in a shower curtain. She was greeted by exploding Pop Rocks, enough to scare the socks or any remaining clothing off her. After an extended interrogation of the cabin, Nancy had no clue as to the perpetrators. “Lights Out” arrived, and smug campers were soon sleeping soundly as Nancy hatched a plot of her own. (Nancy was a mom to two teens herself.) The following morning Nancy awoke to a chorus of screams coming from the bathroom. The campers had met their match. Vaseline-coated toilet seats had got ‘em!
