The Camp

#1 son called from Band Camp tonight. He said the camp has had its ups and downs. The classes are great, but when he's not in class, he's either playing ping pong, or walking into the town, the one with just a gas station and an antique shop that closes at 3 each day. He and his pal have 2 roommates. I asked him if they were nice and he said flatly, "They're emo."
I'm not sure what emo means so rather than ask questions, I faked it by saying, "Emo. That's funny."
"For us it's not," #1 answered.

After the call, I read a little more about emo. I think it could be funny to have emo roommates.
