spaghetti night, decorum out the window


Somehow FV campers are born knowing that on spaghetti night they have the option of eating the stuff without utensils. I have to confess that at first I bridled at all this mess, but I have come to enjoy it tremendously. The kids have so much fun. Maybe in addition to teaching kids how to dine together cooperatively and to learn to respect the food and the social occasion of the meal ("family style") we should also teach them the pure fun of feeling unconstrained, free. You might accuse me (once again) of reading too much into such campy things, but I think not. Just look at those faces.
