We decided to go to this amusement park like thing. You know what I mean? It didn’t have rides…well it did but not like a normal amusement park. This was like somethiing that Paul Bunyon would do. You remember him? Man, I used to love that book. Anyways, mom challenged me to a log race and I could never resist a challenge. After going back to the camp ground and grabbing our suits we were ready to go.

“ONE!”

“TWO!”

“THREE!”

At the sound of three mom started to quickly move her feet. Alright, it’s gotta be said. My mom is kinda hot no? She has to be pushing forty but she still looks the same to me. Maybe it has to do with that stuff that she and dad are always drinking every few days. They call it their nightcap. I asked if I could have some and they said I could but they would prefer if I waited until I was an adult. Something about their tone made me decide to wait. Anyways, back to the challenge.

I don’t know why I was wearing flip flops! I couldn’t get any traction and before I knew it…

…My legs had slipped out from under me and I was airborn. Hold it, hold it.

“Seriously photographer lady? Did you have to take such a goofy shot of me?” I rolled my eyes when she  nodded. “All I’m saying is next time could you please, for all that is holy, catch my good side?”

Reaching out she pinched my cheeks and I sighed. Sometimes I forgot that this woman had been following me around since I was a baby. Anyways…back to the challenge.

You would think mom would be concerned about me right? RIGHT?

Yeah, I could feel the concern. Better yet I could see it and hear it as she pointed and laughed hysterically at me. I pushed my way to the surface and slicked my hair out of my eyes before I joined in her laughter. Reaching down she helped me up and I shot a quick look her way.

“Best two out of three?”

“You’re on buddy boy!”

It kind of figures Gai would have violent tendencies. Being the baby and all. But I didn’t expect her to be so great with an ax. Who does she think she’s kidding? I always knew that she was going to be full of rage. I bet anything that’s she glaring right now. Picture that bullseyes as either Val’s or my face. I bet you! How much you want to bet? Any takers? Seriously…I need some money for college. Mom and Dane said that they’d help me out a little but that I’d have to work on scholarships if I wanted to go to the school of my choice. So I need takers!

Of course I could be wrong! That girl is a trip! I don’t think that I’ve ever seen her without a grin on her face. Unless she was sleeping. She’s always been a happy kid though. I guess somethings just don’t change with…wait a second.  Didn’t mom say that before. Oh…my…God! I’m starting to sound like my mom!! No, I can not have that! Where is Val at?

OH MY GOD!!! Seriously? SERIOUSLY? The girl can’t stay out of the mirror for two seconds. I heard her mumbling something about the humidty and her hair. Okay, okay! So I shouldn’t talk but come on! We’re like a thousand and some miles away from the house and there’s no one here that she knows. Val couldn’t do a long distance relationship. She’s crazy as it is! Can you imagine her wondering what her boyfriend was up to? And then knowing that she wouldn’t actual know unless he told her the tuth? Which, of course, she would think was a lie. Circles I tell you! Circles! The world is full of vicious, crazy circles…and Val is at the center of them all.

Of course her dad isn’t far behind her. Sure, he had got a little rancid back there dancing with that hairy guy(he’s not BIGFOOT!) but was it really necessary to get completely naked in a public restroom for a sponge down? Imagine my surprise when I walked in to take a leak and saw that!

“Oh hey Neil,” he said casually as he wiped underneath of his arm. “How are you enjoying the trip?”

“Fine! Or at leasst I was. Now I’m blind. The last thing I saw, instead of a pretty girl, was your, your…” I waved my hand in the general direction of his penis and he laughed.

“Hey, you should be so lucky that this is the last thiing you saw. Your mom-”

“I am not listening,” I said as I quickly backed out of the bathroom. “I’m not listening!” His laugh followed me.
