In the time-honored tradition of laugh-out-loud kid notes, the letter home from camp holds pride of place. While cute to-do lists and subtle commentaries on aging have their charms, they really don't hold a candle to the colorful anecdotes, blunt requests and dramatic pleas for help addressed to moms and dads each summer.
In the uproarious sequel to her 2010 book, "P.S. I Hate It Here," one-time camp-letter recipient Diane Falanga has collected some true gems -- eight of which you can read in the slideshow below.
