Summer fun for the kids!

Several years ago my wife and I went on a camping trip with her parents and brothers. My in-laws had a travel trailer and my wife and I and her parents and two younger brothers all slept in the camper. Her older brother and his wife slept outside in a tent. My mother in-law had received this Disney Tarzan drinking straw from a fast food restaurant and when you sucked liquid through it, it made the famous Tarzan call. During the middle of the night, the straw started making its call all by itself. It wouldn't stop and it woke us all up wondering what that noise was! Finally my youngest brother in law discovered what it was and threw it out the door. A few minutes later it started doing its call again, and kept not only us up, but woke up my sleeping brother and sister in law in the tent. He found it and brought it to the campground bathroom without us knowing. When I awoke in the morning, I headed to the bathroom. As I was showering, I once again heard the Tarzan straw making its call!! I finally stuffed it in the bottom of the trash bin. We all slept better the next night!
