The Results of the Poem Contest and Mom's New Game
And here, live from the Chicago suburbs, is the announcer of the results of the Poem Contest-- SAMMY FERBER!!!!!!!!! Yay, woohoo, whupdidoo. I am proud to announce that the winner of the Poem Contest is... ME!!!!! YAY! None of you dared to compete with my greatness. As one commenter wrote "I'm afraid there's no contest, though. You win!" Well, she was right.
Okay, now then, let's get back to matters that have to do with Mom...
In her next book, Jemma Hartman, Camper Extraordinare, Mom made up a card game that Jemma and her friend play. She asked me to think of a name and to play the game with her. It's kind of like War, only if one person wins three rounds in a row they get to make a punishment for the other player. The punishments can range from hopping on one foot to talking the rest of the game in an English accent (Mom made me do that one!). Send in ideas for a name or more punishments and they may just end up in Jemma!

Faith and Sammy... do you see this? The commenter above is from India! You guys are now internationally known bloggers!
Congratulations to the contest winner! :)
Hmmm...punishments. When I was in grade school, my gym teacher punished people by making them kneel on their hands for a while. I think that's horrible! You put your palms on the floor, elbows out, and then kneel on the backs of your hands. Can you imagine if this was done in school today? LAWSUIT!
So I'm not suggesting that as a punishment, you just reminded me about it. I can't think of any punishments right now that are fun and not horrible. If I do...I'll be back!
Possible name for the game: The Shame Game (If you play the game, you have to do the shame.)
Possible shameful activiities: Play the next round with ketchup smuggled out of the canteen on your nose; before each turn must ask the winner, "May I play a card, O mighty War-rior?"; or the loser has to wear a pair of her own clean underwear or bra over her clothes for the next round. All things you could do at camp. Hope your edits are going along smoothly - KYMMERS
OMG OMG OMG!! We have a fan from India! That is soooooooooo cool! It makes my day every time I see new comments on the blog. Mom, if you're reading this, I hope you and Jacob are having fun!
in case you didn't know, Mom and my brother, Jacob, are in Arizona right now for a Bar Mitzvah. So if you were wondering why Faith made that comment, that's why.
Thanks for the fun suggestions, Kym!
Granny... I tested out your punishment. Ow! That hurts!
