Chapter 25: Y is for 'Y not?'
"So, we have Princess Wheels, Prince Probie, Autopsy Gremlin, Princess Breena, Ninja Princess Ziva and Very Special Prince Tony, which is Y-not spelled backwards." Tony listed the characters to the nine children who were listening to his story.
Jimmy, Ziva and Tim shared a look and laughed. "That is an old joke, Tony," Ziva let the children know that several of the family had heard the joke many times in the past.
"But they've never heard it!" Tony pretend whined to his wife. "Now where was I when I was interrupted?" He turned to the children and tried to continue his story.
"What about Grandpa? Is he in the story?" Three year old LJ wanted to hear about his grandpa as well as the others. Gibbs smiled to himself; LJ had a special place in Gibbs' heart. The little boy had been named for his Grandpa and had always attached himself to Gibbs at family gatherings from a young age. In many ways, LJ was Gibbs' mini-me.
"Of course, the Boss is always in the story," Tony replied to his youngest. "Are there any more questions or can I get back to the story?"
"Where are they this time, Abba?" Beth asked. "Does Ninja Princess Ziva kiss Very Special Prince Tony? I think Y-not is funny."
"Uncle Y-not, is Prince Probie going to use his magic computer?" John grinned at his uncle, and earned a thumbs up from his father at the new name for Uncle Tony. Tony rolled his eyes at Tim and Ziva.
Ziva smirked, "I have no sympathy for you, Y-not; you started it!"
