OHH your friends are the acting like you’re their chaperone. Sorry I misinterpreted and thought you were upset that the middle schoolers got assigned to adults. Yeah you’re valid still. Your friends should be able to remember their own items and their inability to do so shouldn’t be your problem to solve. If turning off their brain is their way of enjoying the trip, fine, but they shouldn’t allow it to hinder your ability to enjoy the trip too.
