Friday evening, when the campers got together for their social night Joke-telling activity, everybody's jokes got laughs except Cyrus and Quincy's jokes. To get laughs, the boys decided to play a prank by hiding Gola's favorite boots. But they, too, get pranked when someone switches the boys' hiding place.Make sure the joking you do with your friends (and others) is done in a way that won't hurt anyone's feelings. When the person you are joking with gets mad or starts to cry, know that your words or actions are hurtful. Watch what you say or do to each other. Use positive words. Remember, we don't hurt our friends.
