I visited my old camp on visiting day and was walking around, meeting friends and old campmates, seeing nothing unusual, when the camp director suddenly came up to me in front of what felt like a million people. It was the height of visiting day, and she started yelling at me to leave. I had no idea what she wanted or what I had done wrong, but in the past, I would have argued and tried to prove her wrong. This time, though, I saw we were surrounded by so many people that I stayed quiet, swallowed the embarrassment, and walked out. She then yelled in front of everyone who knew me, and all the other staff members, that I would never be seen in that camp again! Swallowing my tears and biting my lip, I stayed silent and left. No, my kids will, imh, never step foot in neither their camps, schools, shuls, and etc. But embarrassing that the director in front of her own camp would not have helped, and that moment of silence will stay with me forever!
