What is this bullshit?

Hunter

I should have reconsidered letting Gail choose what we did in Las Vegas. She dragged us on a tour of the Grand Canyon, where we had to ride donkeys. Have you ever dealt with a donkey? They're stubborn as shit. They remind me of Mason.

"What is this bullshit?" I asked while riding a donkey in front of Hayden.

"You shouldn't have let our wives pick the activity. Now, we're stuck with jackasses," Hayden said.

"I would have preferred to gamble at the casino and explain to Mason why I ran up his credit card."

"Wouldn't using Mason's credit card alert him to our activities?"

"Who gives a shit? It's better than riding a jackass."

The donkey brayed.

"Shut the hell up! No one asked you!"

The donkey made more sounds while Hayden laughed. I'm glad he found my plight amusing. Remind me to beat his ass later.

We reached the bottom and dismounted the donkeys while the tour guide talked. I glanced around at the Grand Canyon, wondering how long it would take for a sniper to take us out. They would have coverage from different angles without anyone noticing.

Hayden leaned into me and lowered his voice so no one heard him. "Will you stop thinking about snipers?"

"That's the problem with people. They ignore their surroundings. Someone could pick us off without anyone realizing it. Who would think to search for our bodies in a canyon?"

"You take the fun out of everything."

"No, I'm a realist. People are dicks."

"I can't wait until you have kids. I can see it now. Come here, Junior. I'll teach you how to take out a kid at the playground without his parents noticing."

"That's where you're wrong. The parents wouldn't find the kid."

Hayden arched his brow. "Hunter, you can't threaten kids."

"Who says anything about me threatening kids?" I shrugged.

"God save your kids when you have them."

"At least my kid will know how to defend himself from little assholes."

Hayden shook his head.

*******
Gail

Michelle and I listened to the tour guide while Hunter and Hayden argued about kids. It's good that the tour guide turned his back to us and kept talking.

"What is wrong with your husband?" Michelle asked.

"Everything." I sighed.

"Who threatens a kid?"

"Hunter does."

"I pray for your children."

"So do I. What about you and Hayden? Have you talked about kids?"

"We want kids, but not yet. What about you and Hunter?"

"Same, but we're okay with waiting. Plus, I don't want to raise a child alone."

"Same."

Once the tour guide stopped talking, we mounted donkeys and returned to the top. I enjoyed visiting the Grand Canyon. I could have done without the running commentary from Hunter and Hayden about kids.

We returned our donkeys and headed to lunch. We found an outdoor cafe to eat. I didn't mind since the weather was decent.

While we ate, Hunter's phone rang. He answered it with a few words before ending the call.
