Doblos Iscariots

If you ask the girls some of the things they have done at Arts Camp they will list things. And the arrangement of things will astound you, the array, the involved nature of things.

For example, Clara said, "Today, we made Indian fry-bread, sang a song on stage about "la playa," argued about sprinkler freeze dancing, and in tap dancing, we did fifty shuffle-toes."

For Callio, it's less direct. She will be talking on her fake phone to any one of her i.friends: Marisson, Calissa, Wayndedon, Jamie, and Rebecca. And she will be muttering things with great expression. It's like catching a firefly, pinning down what she's saying. I'll say, oh, what movie was that you guys saw? She'll go, "It was so scary at first but then it was funny. It was Doblos Iscariots. It's about a goose who chases down his duck friends but they turn out only to have carrots. And last night, she bestowed on Geoff a "moon magic kiss." It rendered him helpless and weak. It involved a kiss followed by a series of delicate hand gestures.

In her cubby, you can find two types of Asian fans, painted beads, acorns, words of an African song, and paper towel shreds that were used for said beads.
