They think Im not entirely grounded in reality, they say. They want me to go to some live-in nerdy activity ranch thing for troubled Canadian youth, that one out in Ontario where you come back programmed like some robot, dressed in a tye-dyed shirt and eating tuna sandwiches, Mandy explained, a horrified look on her face. Youre eighteen, not twelve! Would they really send you to some rats nest like that? Wendy questioned in mock horror. Aw hell no, if you get sent there, theyll make you hold hands and sing songs about caring! And theyll force you to recycle everything in blue canisters, and to discuss your emotions in front of groups of bratty little dopes!Dear god, theyll have geeky youth wiener roasts at night, and no locks on the doors! Mandy added, eyes wide. Itll be the day pigs fly, my parents have the camp brochure on the fridge but theyll never go through with sending me there. They always forget.
