Being the keeper of little children for the whole summer can be an interesting job. As a camp counselor, you are constantly breaking up arguments, opening juice boxes, and taking groups of kids to the bathroom. In the summertime, it's like the kids are let off the leash and are running free from everything related to school. This comes with crazy attitudes and tons of energy (something you wish you had more of). Here are 35 phrases that every camp counselor has said at least once during their career.

1. "No, we don't share snacks."

2. "Why? Because I said so. It's the rules."

This is the ultimate comeback for everything when you're dealing with kids.

3. "We do not eat the sand out of the sandbox."

4. "Does everyone have sunscreen on?"

5. "Suzie, you need to tell Mom or Dad to buy you some more sunscreen."

6. "I'll tie your shoes this time, but please learn how to do it yourself."

7. "Please go tell her that you're sorry."

8. "Everyone find a buddy."

9. "How did your shoes get untied already? I JUST tied them ten minutes ago."

10. "Please put your arms back in your sleeves."

11. "Honey, I think your shorts are on backward."

12. "Spray sunscreen is truly better than rub in sunscreen. Please invest."

13. "Don't eat that. It was on the dirty ground."

14. "Don't run on the pool deck!"

15. "Yes, you have to wear sneakers."

...because I said so.

16. "It's TYE-DYE WEEK!!!"

17. "Walk, please."

Okay, maybe not like that...

18. "You need to fill up your water bottle."

19. "It's way too hot outside for you to not be drinking water."

20. "Why aren't we having ice pops for snack today?!?"

21. "And why do they give us pretzels for a snack when it's 95 degrees outside?"

22. "Try to wear light colors tomorrow...it's going to be really hot. Don't wear black."

23. "Great...rainy day schedule."

24. "Girls, we don't need to scream about the thunder."

25. "You have to play for at least ten minutes, then you can sit out if you'd like."

26. "Did everyone put on sunscreen before they came to camp today?"

27. "They don't pay me enough for this."

28. "Use kind words when you speak."

29. "Are these your goggles?"

30. "No, I don't know where your other shoe is."

31. "Thank God it's pizza day."

32. "How many more days until Friday?"

33. "Please keep your hands to yourself."

34. "Do not jump in the shallow end!"

35. "I can't believe camp is almost over."

Although being a camp counselor can be a stressful job at some points, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Every year, I look forward to the upcoming camp season. Camp is all about friendship, fun, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Looking for a rewarding summer job? Apply to be a camp counselor!
