"Come on Virg, keep up!" Gordon swims past him at about fifty miles an hour stopping only to laugh as his older brother struggles to even float, let alone move!
"Get lost Gordo, and don't call me Virg!" Virgil replies, angry that his little brother seems to get an obscene amount of pleasure out of teasing him relentlessly!
"What's wrong Virgy, this is actually really easy to do. You are just not trying hard enough! Watch me"
Gordon climbs out the pool, before expertly diving back in and splashing water everywhere.
Virgil is furious now, grabbing Gordon by the arm he walks across the pool dragging his younger brother with him and hoisting him unceremoniously back out of the pool. He climbs out after him, and grabs him before he has a chance to dive back in and carries him back into the house.
"Dad, can you not just get a cage to keep him in? He is the most annoying little brat on the planet, and if you can't keep him under control. I will!" Virgil hands Gordon over to Jeff and walks back out before his dad has a chance to say anything.
"AND IT IS VIRGIL!" He yells back over his shoulder.
"What did you do?" Jeff asks, not sure he actually wants to know.
Soaking wet, six year old Gordon just grins at him before shaking his hair all over Jeff's T-shirt, just like a puppy!
It isn't that Virgil hates swimming because he doesn't, he just knows that he will never be as good at it as Gordon, that does not mean he can't enjoy the water, he just prefers to do it on his own terms.
He groans loudly as he sees the duck that got him yesterday is back. "That blasted thing is laughing at me!" he thinks as he gets back out the pool, giving up his morning swim as a bad idea once and for all!
