Once I Was a Beehive Page #5

with cabins, like last year?

The instructions are so old,

you can't even read them.

Oh, who cares about

the instructions, okay?

We'll figure it out.

Besides, if we hurry,

we can get in some lake

time before dinner, so...

Okay, let's do this.

- And then the tall one?

- Yeah, yeah.

Oh, oops.

Are you sure

this is a good idea?

They've never done this before.

They'll never learn

if we baby them.

Yeah, but...

Carrie, we agreed to do

this Nedra's way.

Let's just see how they do.

- Like that?

- Yeah.

- And just grab like...

- Yup.

We have to be precise.

I think this goes

to the bottom of that.

Well, that doesn't seem

like that makes sense.

It looks like a top piece.

Hmm.

Home sweet home.

Is anyone else disturbed

by the plethora

of left over poles and fabric?

I'm sure it's just extra.

Yeah, like, we could build

a whole extra teepee with them.

Do you guys need any help?

Oh, no, I think we're fine.

Do you need help

with the rain cap, though?

I can help you guys.

It's kind of tricky.

Oh, no, it's okay.

It, like, never rains up here,

so we should be fine.

It's probably better...

You know what?

We'll be by the lake.

Come meet us when you're ready.

Bye.

Ooh, I call first canoe.

I call second with Bree.

Wait, Paige and Bree.

Wait for me.

First canoe sounds fun.

Whoopty-freaking-doo.

You... you can go with them

if you want to.

I can probably just

handle this by myself.

Oh, are you kidding?

I want to see what this actually

is supposed to look like.

Okay, help me

with the canvas then.

- Makenna? Myleka?

- Yes, Bree?

Girls, no.

Life's about taking

risks, girls.

- You're living once.

- Sit down.

Sit down in the canoe.

You sit down in the canoe!

What are you doing?

Oh, I like to put the tarp

on the inside of the tent.

It's a little trick

my dad taught me.

- It'll keep us dry.

- The other girls didn't do it.

I know.

Why don't you go grab the bags?

I'm gonna finish this up.

Oh, sure.

Don't tell anyone.

I snuck her on the ark.

Dogs aren't allowed here.

What are you doing?

Roxy's a service animal.

She's allowed anywhere.

No.

It could be really dangerous

for her.

There's a lot

of wild animals out here.

What if she gets out?

I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

- Don't tell anyone, please?

- It's okay.

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

She's here now, we're gonna

just have to deal with it.

Keep her in the tent

as much as we can.

Only let her out

when we have to, okay?

If she barks, it's over.

Oh, she does not bark,

like, ever.

Let's hope so.

- Time for the devotional.

- Okay.

Put her in the carrier.

This will be our little secret,

okay?

Okay.

You don't ever even

complete all the things

that you need to complete, so

you don't even got the charms.

That doesn't matter.

It d... it matters

if you want to look like this.

Repent ye, repent ye-

the flood is coming.

God is watching you.

Repent!

And behold, the people

were filled with wickedness

and mocked his teachings.

Ha!

And the lord saw that the

people would not listen to Noah,

so he told Noah

that they must be destroyed.

But the lord found favor

with Noah

and told him to build an ark.

And in order to preserve

the beauty and nature

of the earth,

the lord commanded Noah

to bring in animals

of every kind into the boat.

Every kind onto the boat,

and they all came together

in the ark as one family.

Now, remember this as you

face this year's trial of faith.

Which we are totally gonna pass

with perfection this year,

right, girls?

It's, like, the main

activity of camp.

I've never done one, but imagine

a Sunday school lesson

taught by Indiana Jones.

Each of you are

as unique and beautiful

as the many animals on the ark,

so we've put you into twos,

and you're going

to choose a spirit animal

and then discuss

why you chose that animal.

We've provided

some craft materials for you.

Just some basic paints

and construction paper.

Nothing special.

So let's get to work.

- Can't we both win?

- Just pick, fangs or horns.

Fangs.

Something that's, like, admired.

Yeah... yeah, like, the most

important animal.

And, like, maybe,

like, cute hair.

No, yeah.

Perfect.

Everyone's being so boring.

We got to come up

with something more original.

Yeah, animals were so last year.

- Mindy, be careful.

- It's washable.

- Don't move.

- It's cold.

You don't want to look

like a raccoon.

Fine.

We should do something

endangered, like Nanuhals,

beluga whales, condors.

What do you think?

It's up to you.

I don't...

Raar.

All right, so we chose lions

because they're super fast,

they're really strong, and they

just protect everybody else.

Not like we're rulers over you.

Well, uh...

I mean, we kind of are,

but not in, like,

a dictator type way.

Just more of a natural leader

and protector

type way, you know?

Yeah, for sure.

So I wanted to be a lone wolf

because they do

whatever they want

and they're not afraid

of anything,

but Mykelle just loves

bunny rabbits

or whatever, so we chose...

Jackrabbits!

Because they love to run free,

and they're also funny

and clever,

and they have big families,

just like me.

Hannah made us have fangs.

We are the rock giants.

You know, from the Noah movie

which, like, nobody saw.

Well, anyway, we thought

they were totally sweet

and we, like, really wish that

they had survived the flood.

And even though my parents say

that movie is sacrilegious,

I don't care because

Shem and Ham and Japeth

were so hot in it.

Like, I was totes

jealous of Hermione.

We chose dogs because

they're loving, loyal,

and they can sense danger

and warn others.

But also because

they're super cute,

but our dad

won't let us have one.

We chose an endangered species,

Galapagos giant tortoises.

We chose them

because they're wise,

they live to a very old age,

and even though

it may take them awhile,

they always get

where they want to go.

And no matter

how far they travel,

they're never far from home.

All right, what do you say

we sing one more song

before we hit the hay, okay?

The wise man built his house

upon the rock

The wise man built

his house upon the rock

The wise man built

his house upon the rock

And the rains

came tumbling down

Oh, the rains came down

and the floods came up

The rains came down

and the floods came up

The rains came down and

the floods came up

Good night, ladies.

Let us know

if you need anything.

All right, we start at,

like, 7:
00 A.M.

Mykelle, Mykelle?

I need just a little bit longer.

Let's see.

So would you rather marry a man

that you know is a serial

killer, he kills every day,

but he's still, like,

a good guy, like,

you love him, or would you

rather marry a man

that all he ever says

is Mahna Mahna?

You ever heard

about mantis shrimp?

No.

So they're, like,

these shrimp that live,

like, way, way, way down

at the bottom of the ocean,

like, thousands of feet under.

Mm-hmm.

And they can get up
