Family Night

So my folks are coming over to the lake house tonight. Normally I’d be pretty amped about that, as I get along well with them, but they’re bringing my prissy Aunt Gertrude and her monster twins.

Er, I mean her nice sons, Ricky and Ronny.

Damn, I can’t even lie.

Those kids are the worst.

I’ve already warned Aubrey and the rest of the gang, but no one is prepared for when the demon seeds come in the door.

Like whirling dervishes, in no less than two minutes flat, they’re running around the house like they own the place, chasing and smacking each other.

“Oh, dear,” Aunt Gertrude laments as she wrings her hands. “Boys, stop it. Stop with this foolishness right now.”

She turns to me and, in a totally serious voice, says, “They’re usually much better-behaved when visiting people. I just don’t know what’s gotten into them tonight.”

Riiight…sure they are. I remember the hockey stick battle.

The boys run by us in the entry hall, ignoring their mother’s admonishments. They deviate to avoid her by clambering up the stairs leading up to the living room.

I sigh.

I’d like to say something to get them to stop running around, but I don’t want to cause any trouble. Aunt Gertrude is freaking hair-trigger sensitive when it comes to her “babies.”

Though I may have to speak up at some point, as I now hear them scampering around upstairs, probably terrorizing my houseguests.

Aubrey is standing next to me, listening to the racket. Leaning in, she whispers, “Good God. They really are monsters, aren’t they?”

“Told you they were bad,” I mumble, so Aunt Gertrude doesn’t hear.

My parents, meanwhile, are just shaking their heads.

Benny, who was up in the living room with the rest of the crew, waiting for us to come up, jogs down the stairs to where we’re clearly at an impasse.

Yeah, we haven’t made it any farther, not with the evil twins on their rampage.

“Hey, I heard the commotion down here,” he begins. “And I also think I caught a blur of some small people running by me in the living room just a minute ago.”

“Sorry about that,” I murmur, feeling frustrated.

Benny, noticing my distress, says, “Hey, if you’d like, I can set up your Xbox down in the basement family room. You still have that it, right?”

“I do,” I confirm.

“Well then, let me get the kids started on a game. Maybe that’ll keep them out of your hair for a while and you can entertain your guests.”

“Yeah, but you’re a guest too,” I say quietly. “You shouldn’t have to babysit.”

He waves his hand. “Aw, hell, I don’t mind.”

Benny is truly amazing with kids. I mean, shit, he’s fantastic with Eliza’s little daughter, Ava.

Still, I should warn him that he’s about to have his hands full with Ricky and Ronny.

I don’t get the chance, though. Aunt Gertrude, who I fully expected to nix the Xbox idea, is totally on board.

I look at her, and she’s smiling and nodding at Benny.

Wow, this is a first.

Touching my teammate’s arm, Aunt Gertrude gushes, “That’s such a wonderful idea, you big, strapping young man.
