~Monday Evening~
Mi: I think that we need to leave now, Jake.
J: Why?
C: Yeah, Uncle Michael, why?
Mi: Because it's Monday and you boys all have school tomorrow.
J: But...
Mi: No buts bud. You will see Connor and Mathew tomorrow again.
J: And what about Uncle William?
W: You will see me tomorrow when I go pick Connor and Mathew up.
J: Fine. (He mumbled)
M: Now can we have another sleep over this weekend?
W: But you just had a sleep over.
M: That was at your house daddy, now it has to be at Uncle Michael's house.
W: And what about me, what will I do without you and your brother?
M: Uhm...
J: You could also come with Uncle William.
W: And what does your dad have to say about that?
J: He'll say yes.
C: Yes, so then we're all having a sleep over at Uncle Michael's house this weekend.
Mi: Boys, you do know that William and I are suppose to be making decisions for you and not the other way around, right?
J: Okay, now can we have a sleep over?
Mi: If William agrees then why not?
C & M: Daddy?
William pretended to think about it all the while pulling funny faces.
W: Okay, why not. (He sighed)
Boys; Yes!
M: Okay. (He said with a big smile)
W: I can't believe we just let them talk us into that.
Mi: They are very persuasive when they need to be.
W: That's going to be dangerous when they get older.
HaHaHahaha.
MI: It's time to go now, say bye to everyone.
J: Okay. (He sighed)
He gave Connor and Mathew hugs before walking over to William.
J: Thank you for this weekend, Uncle William.
W: It was amazing having you here buddy. (He said kneeling in front of Jake)
J: It was really nice here. (He said giving William a hug)
W: It was nice having you here.
C: Bye, Uncle Michael.
M: Bye. (He said as both of them gave Michael hugs)
Mi: Bye boys.
Mathew walked over to William and gestured for him to come down to his level.
M: You need to say bye to Uncle Michael too, give him a hug dad. (He whispers into William's ears)
W: Do I really have to? (He whispered back)
M: Go daddy! (He whispered sharply)
W: Fine.
...
Mi: What was that about?
W: I was ordered to give you a hug by my five year old. (He smiled, pulling Michael into a hug) I look forward to our little sleep over.
