Mike lay sprawled on his stomach on the floor, rolling the police car back and forth with Caden. After breakfast Lily had cleaned the little boy up while Mike was in the shower and now he was keeping him occupied while she was in the shower.
"Mike, Uncle Mike what am I supposed to call you? Are you and Aunt Lily married or are you just her boyfriend?"
"Uh, I think you can call me Uncle Mike and no we aren't married. Is Aunt Lily sick 'cause she said her tummy was upset when you was in the shower," Caden looked up at him, the car veering a little to the side.
"I don't think Aunt Lily's sick. I'll make sure she's okay when she's done with her shower, okay?"
Caden nodded and went back to playing, Mike heard the water shut off and walked back to the bathroom. He stuck his head in and looked at her, smiling as he watched her drying off.
"You okay? Caden said you didn't feel good earlier," he was a little worried, she was never sick.
"I'm fine, watching him stuff his cheeks full of Lucky Charms would make anyone nauseous," she looked over at him with a smile.
"Okay, I wanted to make sure," he nodded and backed out, walking back down the hall. Caden charged him, grabbing both legs.
"Okay?" Caden looked at him with a little worry in his eyes.
"She's fine, not a fan of Lucky Charms like we are," he picked him up so that he could walk. He carried him to the living room and turned cartoons on, sitting on the couch. Caden sat and watched Spongebob running around the screen for a few minutes before jumping up and starting to run around in circles.
"Hey Taz, slow down or you're going to make yourself sick."
"I'm not Taz Uncle Mike," he laughed and shook his head at the silliness of the man. He continued his running until Lily came in and he smacked into her legs, falling onto his butt. Lily looked at him and then Mike in confusion.
"He's mimicking the thing on TV," he pointed at the screen.
"Oh, that's Spongebob. He lives in a pineapple under the sea."
"Yeah, I got that from the song. Why is this show funny?"
Lily shrugged and walked over to sit down with him while Caden resumed his circles. Mike watched him for a while and then shook his head.
"Maybe we should get him low sugar cereal."
