Forgot for a moment that 'thongs' could mean flip-flops/sandals. Wondered what dad was up to.
I was confused for a moment about your comment, because when I think about "thongs" I think about a tool to grab something, which could be useful for grilling, which didn't seem weird to me. But then I realized that's spelled "tongs" and that there's also a revealing garment called "thong", which is what you likely thought about.
I love this arc. Especially the strip where dad says “at least it’s not snowing, right? I mean, if it was snowing so hard we couldn’t start a fire” and Calvin responds “boy I love cold canned ravioli.”
I've been camping in a tent twice. The first time, it poured while we were setting up camp. The second night it dropped below freezing. The second time, I was visiting a friend's campsite they had rented for the summer. Remnants of a tropical storm came through that night. I packed my stuff in the middle of the night and went home. Haven't been camping since.
