Answer:

Camping

Camping in an RV is not camping.
Camping, by definition, must involve a tent,
or at least sleeping outside in a hammock.
Showing up in a five-ton vehicle with a microwave and a color TV
and running a  noisy gas-powered generator to support a refrigerator and air conditioning?
That's not camping.


You can learn a lot about a child if you let her choose her own Halloween costume. Aspiration dreams manifest.

My first free-will choice was a gypsy. From the dress-up box I took a beautiful full-circle skirt, black with a design of gold swirling lines, the waist two-times too large for me. Mother helped fix it up with a belt and supplied the rest of the adornments, but the skirt was all. Gypsy girls dance and live in a gypsy caravan in the woods. Gypsy girls read palms and tell fortunes with Tarot cards.

​Mike's choice was a hobo. He got to wear old clothes and his mother dotted an unshaven beard onto his face with an eyebrow pencil. He had a bandana (filled with clean socks? A candy bar? One wonders) tied to the end of the stick. A hobo lives on the road, traveling from place to place, doing odd jobs for strangers, never staying in one place to long. He is not required to bathe.
