Eating S'mores With Yoda

Friday night was Jordan and my first Cub Scout overnight camp out. As luck would have it the temperature was in the upper 80's to add to the experience. Following the drive up there, we set up camp, attended the opening ceremony where we got to shout "Gold" at the top of our lungs again and again and again. See, "Gold" was our camps pre-assigned color. Then there were some skits by the camp leaders, a bunch of singing, and to close the night...a campfire with S'mores.

That is, of course, where the title of this blog comes from.

While sitting watching what seemed like a hundred little boys clamber around a fire with sharp metal roasting sticks and marshmallows, this one kid comes over the the fixings table to assemble his S'more. He's kind of jabbering away to himself the way a lot of kids do, and I hear him mumbling something about Yoda a few times.

Then he suddenly stands up straight and with proper Yoda-like pacing, but not so much accent, says "Build this in secret I must." and turns his back and completes his S'more construction...with jedi-like concentration.

Mmmmm....S'mores.....
