I caught a video posted on CNN yesterday about a camp in England for atheists. The weather was awful. It didn't stop raining. One of the organizers facetiously quipped, "we can always pray" for better weather.
The Father and His Two Daughters
Aesop
A man who had two daughters married one to a gardener, the other to a potter. After a while he paid a visit to the gardener's, and asked his daughter how she was and how it fared with her.
"Excellently well," said she; "we have everything that we want; I have but one prayer, that we may have a heavy storm of rain to water our plants."
Off he set to the potter's, and asked his other daughter how matters went with her.
"There is not a thing we want," she replied; "and I only hope this fine weather and hot sun may continue, to bake our tiles."
"Alack," said the father, "if you wish for fine weather, and your sister for rain, which am I to pray for myself?"

The video below is atrociously misspelled, but it brings back fond memories of summer camp. Kids, hope you are conveying a much more positive attitude towards your parents about camp and are filled with gratitude to them for their sacrifice in sending you to a fun filled summer.
Speaking of misspelled, here is a link to help you with your spelling.
