Maybe you we can go out on the lake again and you can half-drown me for old time's sake?"
Rodney wanted to say no, wanted to say that he wasn't sure at all. Jeannie was a good big sister, if a bossy one, and he knew she'd go out there and send everyone packing if he wanted her to. Instead, he said, "He's the first person I ever fell in love with."
Miri snorted, something Rodney had a sneaking suspicion she'd picked up from him. "Relax, Mom. Have you seen the way he looks at John? I'm going to go tell Mrs. Mackleroy to get ready, okay?" She came up, pinched Rodney's shoulder. "And you relax, Uncle Rodney. I've seen how he looks at you, too. It's all googly-eyed and really gross for people your age. If you don't get over it soon I'll be drinking ginger tea willingly."
And then Rodney was alone with Jeannie still looking at him like she could see right through his forehead. "Okay then. Let's get you married. And, uh ... if you do puke? Lean away from me, because I plan to wear this dress again."
Sometimes I just *love* Rodney's family.
"Well, that was very stupid of you, because my sister reminded you, as did my nieces, several times before the wedding," Rodney replied. "Perhaps it was the oral sex that made you forget?"
In the next room, the realtor dropped her clipboard. John started giggling uncontrollably.
