The backstory: My sister and I were on the phone, catching up in advance of the next week's activities.
KO: So, have fun camping. Toast a marshmallow for me.
Me: Well, there's no campfires allowed so….
KO: Wait. Did you just say NO CAMPFIRES?
Me: Yup. No campfires.
KO: Well, ummm, ahhh
My sister has been struck speechless by the apostasy that is camping without a campfire. I can tell that she's thinking "why bother to camp if you can't have a campfire?" since that was my first sentiment when I discovered this insane rule. But she's aiming for something more diplomatic than WTF and so I step into the gap….
Me: I'll have an extra peanut M&M for you.
KO (in dubious tone): Okay.
I can tell it's not quite enough, but she'll make do.
