Summer Camp Counselor Prankster

The first day I was a camp counselor about 28 years ago, I walked down the steps of my cabin and into a bucket of sticky tar. I retrieved my foot, but left my bobbie sock and sneaker behind.
At that point, I understood the lay of the land, proceeded to "get revenge," and never looked back. lol. The gal that set the tar trap found her 1976 Ford station wagon sitting on its rims alone. Little did she know that her relatively new tires were being used as rope swings on an oak tree. lol. Now how I pulled that off is another story in and of itself.

I've been a summer camp counselor for over 25 years at various camps. One of the activities I covertly participate in is pranks played upon the other camp counselors. It's hard to play pranks and not brag to anyone at camp; therefore, I relish the opportunity to tell a story or two via the internet.

As a counselor with a degree of seniority, I have keys to everything and know the camp well. One of the first pranks I play on new counselors is enter their cabins and cut the ends out of their socks. At camp, we never wear socks with our sneakers because of various water activities. Ah the look on a new counselor's face when her socks pull up to her knee caps. lol. Another good prank is putting itching powder in between sheets. Some girls could not understand why they did not get a good night's rest. lol. Another prank I've performed many times is cutting shoe laces almost completely in half. When attempting to tie, the laces break in half. They had to tie them in knots to lace up. One last prank was to mix up all of the girls clothes between cabins. One t-shirt would be in another's luggage, etc. A size 6 shoe would be matched with a similar size 7 1/2 shoe in another cabin. This drove the girls nuts. Some may think that I'm crazy (and i probably am crazy lol); however, we all have a great time each summer.
Moreover, I suffer my own share of similar pranks each summer. It's just if some of my recurring camp counselors found out that I'm the primarly prankster, I'd surely find my new Mustang sunk in mud up to its windows. lol. I'd deserve it.
