Palindrome Wars

Now that school is back in session, you can be sure that kids all across the country are telling ridiculous stories of what they did on their summer vacations. The first year I went to camp, I told my entire class, in full detail, about a palindrome war that I participated in. Yep, a palindrome war. We were The Race Car Team and I think it was The Mom Team that was crowned the victors after they clinched the Capture The Flag competition.

If I were a teacher and I heard that shit come out of my nine year old self, I would be very very concerned.

STAY OFF THE EROSION TRAIL!
