I was a cub scout den leader for 3 years and no matter how tired I was when I arrived at our weekly den meetings, every time I left it was with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. Their enthusiasm and humor were infectious and I loved it. They always said hilarious things. Early on I was trying to restore order and called out "Gentlemen!" to which they replied, "Awww...don't call us Gentlemen, call us...call us DUDES". I laughed and said that one did not work for me...but we met halfway and agreed upon "Gentledudes". It was our code word from then on, and I only had to say it quietly at den and pack meetings to pull my little group back together and refocus attention on the matter at hand. :-)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443107874254056449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-24189951523012537572010-11-13T10:25:10.306-07:002010-11-13T10:25:10.306-07:00Lol!
