Travis
The lake sparkled beyond the trees as I pushed open my
brother’s gate, the squeak from the rusty hinges breaking the
silence of the still summer evening. Noise that was quickly
and boisterously joined by the front door banging open and my
nephews—and several mongrels—rushing from inside, racing
up the sloping yard to greet me.
“Uncle Travis! Uncle Travis!” the boys yelled in unison,
their short legs carrying them swiftly uphill, the dogs barking
and dancing around, tails wagging in a way that would have
let any knife-wielding burglar or serial killer entering the
property know they were more than welcome to join the
family.
I laughed as Connor and Charlie reached me, bending and
scooping them up, one in each arm. “I have two stomachs!”
Connor declared. “My daddy says.”
“It’s a Hale trait,” I explained. “It’s how we grow big and—”
“I prolly have three stomachs!” Charlie stated, not to be
outdone by his twin.
I peered down curiously at his stomach, using my fingers to
tickle his side. Charlie shrieked with laughter. The dogs wove
in and out of my legs, and I sidestepped the brown one who
seemed to always be grinning. I didn’t trust it. Anything that
grinned that constantly was obviously insane.
“Did you ever see an elephant, Uncle Trav?” Charlie asked.
“Not in person—”
“What about a bear?” Connor inquired.
“Too many to—”
“Elephants weigh more than cars!”
“Bears sleep all winter! It’s called hide your nation.”
“Hide your nation? What’s a nation?” I asked.
Connor leaned in, cupping his hand over his mouth as he
whispered loudly, “It’s prolly his hairy butt!”
Then both boys howled with laughter, their little bodies
shaking with hilarity. I laughed too because, if you were a guy,
the phrase hairy butt was funny, whether you were five or over
thirty. Or a hundred fifty, I was going to assume.
“Boys,” Bree called, stepping outside, six-month-old Averie
in her arms. “Let your uncle catch his breath.” She smiled.
“Hi, Travis.”
“Bree.” I set the boys down, just catching the slight nod
Charlie gave Connor before Charlie stumbled. I reached
forward, catching him before he hit the wood floor of the
porch.
