Chapter 16: Summer Vacation
After the party and after Vinny and Lorraine have dried off. They go downstairs. Matt is watching an old video.
"What are you watching?" Vinny asked him.
"The video ofthe last time we went to Lake Winnetka." Matt replied.
"What was that four years ago?" Lorraine asked Vinny.
"Yeah it was." Vinny told her.
"Let's go back." Lorraine said to Vinny.
"I thought we were going to Miami Beach this year?" Vinny asked her.
"We always go to Miami Beach." Matt told him.
"You really want to go back to the lake?" Vinny asked them.
"Yeah." Lorraine and Matt answered at the same time.
"Let's see where everyone else wants to go." Vinny told them.
Vinny calls down Danny, Kate and Brian. They go to the stairs.
"Do you guys want to go to the lake this year or.." Vinny started to say.
"The lake." Danny, Kate and Brian said before Vinny could finish.
"I'll go to the lake." Sarah said to him.
"How did the hell did you get in?" Vinny asked her.
"Your back door was opened." Sarah replied.
"I need to lock that back door now." Vinny told Lorraine.
"She doesn't have to knock. She can just walk in. I gave her permission." Lorraine told him.
"Not if I lock both doors." Vinny told her.
"Lorraine gave me a key to your front door." Sarah told him.
"You gave her a key without even asking me?" Vinny asked Lorraine.
"I also gave Jake, Mark and my parents keys to this house." Lorraine told him.
"Why?" Vinny asked her.
"In case the kids forget their keys and no one is home." Lorraine told him.
"Whatever." Vinny replied.
Jake and David walk through the back door. "You know your front door is locked?" Jake asked Vinny.
"It was locked for a reason Jake." Vinny replied.
"Everyone is home. Why would you lock your front door?" Jake thenasked him.
"To keep people that I don't like out." Vinny told him.
"So, why is Sarah in here?" Jake then asked him.
"She came in through the back door also." Brian told him.
"Jake we're going back to the lake this year. You and David in?" Sarah asked him.
"Yeah. We'll go to the lake." Jake said to her.
"I love the way your family just invites themselves on our vacation." Vinny told Lorraine.
"Sarah, Jake and David you guys are invited to join us on our vacation to the lake this year." Lorraine said to them.
"They're not spending the vacation in our cabin. They can use your dads cabin." Vinny told her.
"Fine." Sarah said to Vinny.
Jake, David and Sarah leave.
"I just got off the phone with Nora and she said that her, Bud and Nicole would be glad to join us on our vacation. And my godson Tom said he will join us also." Lorraine told Vinny.
"Your godson? The one who plays middle linebacker for Ohio State that godson?" Vinny asked her.
"Yeah." Lorraine replied.
"That's going to be fun." Vinny told her.
"They said that they're staying at Charlie and Ann's house." Lorraine then said to him.
"Even your godson?" Vinny asked her.
"Even Tom." Lorraine told him.
"Jake just called me. He said that Mike is coming to the lake also." Vinny said to her.
"That's great." Lorraine told him.
"I don't mind everyone else being there but, Jake and Sarah are going to be a pain." Vinny told her.
"They will not." Lorraine told him.
"I'll let Mike stay with us because we haven't seen him in four months and because I actually like Mike." Vinny said to her.
"Vinny, you and Mike are like brothers." Lorraine said to him.
"He's the little brother I never had." Vinny told her.
"What about my other younger brothers?" Lorraine asked him.
"Mike doesn't annoy me like Jake. And he actually has a conversation with me for more then five minutes unlike your other brothers." Vinny told her.
"You talk to Charlie for more then five minutes." Lorraine told him.
"We talk football that's different. We actually have somethings in common. We're both former athletes and we both are great dads." Vinny told her.
"Jake is a great dad." Lorraine told him.
"I'll give you that one. He is doing well for a single parent." Vinny told her.
"David is a great kid." Lorraine told him.
"And our kids aren't?" Vinny then asked her.
"We have great kids also." Lorraine then told him.
"Our kids are great because we're a great tag team. And David is a great kid because I'm a great uncle." Vinny told her.
"You are a great uncle but, it's also because of Jake." Lorraine then told him.
"I know. I was just joking." Vinny told her.
Lorraine kisses Vinny and looks upstairs.
"The game's on." Vinny told her.
"Fine then I'm going to bed all alone." Lorraine told him as she went up the stairs.
Vinny looks at the TV then he looks at Lorraine going up the stairs.
"Commerical!" Vinny yelled as he ran after Lorraine up the stairs.
