I couldn’t feel my balls for a week. But I won. It was worth it.

Kessler

You did not win. We both got out at the same time.

Garrett

Nope. I was the last one to touch the water.

Kessler

Bullshit.

Garrett

Wanna re-match?

Kessler

Oh it’s on Seal boy.

Me

Jesus, mom should have let you both stay in there.

Garrett

Fine. I’ll be there.

Me

I’m sure Kara will be delighted to see you there.

Garrett

Don’t make me throw you in the pond.

Me

I’m not scared of you.

Kessler

You should be.

Reese

You should be.

Brent

I am.

Garrett

What they said.

“What’s so funny?”Amelia’s sleepy voice asks.
