After spending my summer working at a summer camp with children ages 6 to 10, I have acquired a collection of cute, sassy and cringe-worthy quotes that came straight out of my campers' mouths. So, without further ado, here's the sh*t my campers say:

1. "I was born purple."

2. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

3. "You really don't have time to get married. You're 20 years old, you need to have some kids lady!"

4. "I am an alien from planet Zork. They sent me here because I looked like a human."

5. "Have you been to a crack house?"

6. "You can't tell anyone this, but my friend and I have the power to make people late. I think she used it on me today."

7. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

8. "We have to tell you a secret. We are mermaids, but you really can't tell anyone. It's a secret club."

9. "Make yourself useful!"

10. "Is this paint organic?"

11. "That bug noise you hear on hot days is actually not a bug — it's the sun."

12. "Can we do the whip?"

13. "Can you do the whip?"

14. "WATCH ME WHIP!"
(Side note: the whip is every camper's favorite dance move. Do not underestimate an 8-year-old's ability to break it down when this song comes on).

15. "I was the happiest kid in kindergarten."

16. "That's karma."

17. "I think acne makes people beautiful."

18. "You are so fake. BE REAL."

19. "Yesterday, I made homemade jam."

20. "My dad is something called a C-E-O."

21. *humps air while dancing* "It would be OK if I was humping if it was Wednesday!"

22. "Is that your boyfriend?"

23. "You're old and gray."

24. "Emily, do me a favor, don't wear your hair in a ponytail tomorrow. The humidity is ruining it."

25. "I want to eat your soul out of your flesh."

26. "I'm part of the popular group, but she could fire me. We all like gymnastics and boys. We have crushes too."
(After asking who this "she" was, I could not get an answer. My only conclusion is that Regina George's child must be trying to create a new band of elementary school Plastics.)

27. "I know why you look different today, you're actually taking your job seriously."

28. "Yesterday I secretly had a glass of wine. I went in my fridge when my mom wasn't home and poured myself a glass."

29. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
