“Holy sleeping bats,” Todd said. “Her butt’s upside-down naked in the wind.”

“Nice target for my slingshot.”

“I guess this would be one of the times I hope you listened to your Mom when she told you to always wear clean underwear?” Todd asked me.

“Don’t be so hard on her,” Frank said. “It’s not nice to make her the butt of your jokes.”

“Hang on, I’m going to lift you off the branch.” Mac hooked one arm around my stomach and lifted me like I was a rag doll. “You okay?”

“Do I look fine?”

“You look both pissed and beautiful to me.”

“Hey Jorie,” Todd said. “You need help pulling those pants up?”

“Next trip we better bring some Depends so she never has to leave camp,” Amanda said.

It’s easy to quickly pull up a pair of stretchy pants and take off chasing two snot-nosed punks. It’s much harder to be over ten years older, and ten years more out of shape and catch them.

I could hear Dad, Frank, and Mac cheering me on.

“Get ‘em, Jorie.”

“That’s my baby girl.”

“Grab some T. Forget the A.”

I may not have the youthful advantage, but I did have a plan. I turned right, ran back to camp and stole all their socks. May sound harmless, unless you’ve ever tried to put your cowboy boots on without them, and then be forced to ride that way all day.

Mac arrived in camp first and saw me leaving Todd’s tent. “Whatcha got there?”

“Revenge.”

“Need an accomplice?

“Want to hide these in your pack?” I held up the socks.

“I’d be happy to.”

Todd arrived back in camp and ran to the camp stove. “With all the excitement, I left this batch of stew on the stove. Don’t think we’ll be eating this sticky mess.”

Amanda looked at the pot. “I’m not sure we’ll be using this pot again.”

“I’ve got a secret way to deal with that.” Dad took the pot from Amanda.

“Another secret, Dad?”

“Man has to be careful about the information he divulges.”

“I thought man was supposed to pass down his knowledge to his children.”

“All in good time, baby girl.”
