Lessons

Jake Grimm sat on the couch flipping through a book. He glanced up as six year old Basil sat down next to him.

"He Uncle Jake, what are you reading?"

Jake held up the book so Basil could read the cover.

"1001 Ways to Propose to a Lady." Basil read out loud. "Why are you reading that?"

"Well Buddy, I want to propose to Briar, but I don't think my witty but charming remarks will get me anywhere."

"Oh, ok." Basil turned his attention to the TV.

A few minutes later, Basil spoke up. "Uncle Jake, when I grow up, I'm going to be good with the ladies. Just like you!"

Jake grinned at his nephew. "Why wait? Let's give you some lessons."

"Won't mommy get mad?"

Jake laughed. "So? It's hilarious when Veronica gets mad!"

Basil grinned. He pointed to Uncle Jake's book. "Can that be my bedtime story tonight?"

"Sure Buddy, let's go."

"Mommy!" Basil ran into the kitchen bright and early the next morning. Everyone else was still asleep.

"Hey Baze." Veronica smiled at her son. "Why are you so excited."

"Uncle Jake is teaching me how to be good with the ladies."

Veronica's face paled. "Say what now?"

"I'm going to grow up and be a ladies man!"

Veronica forced a smile. "JAKE!"

Jake walked into the kitchen, grinning like a fool. Veronica knew he had been eavesdropping. "Yes Roni?"

"Don't call me that! And how dare you teach a six year old 'how to be good with ladies?'"

Veronica grabbed a frying pan and began chasing Jake around.

"Mommy! Don't kill him. Who's going to teach me about girls?"

"You're father." Veronica answered.

"But Uncle Jake says Daddy is no good with girls." Basil replied.

Veronica growled. "You are so dead, Jake!"

"You know you love me." Jake grinned cheekily.

Veronica growled again. Jake turned to Basil.

"Basil, do you feel the love?"

Basil laughed. He loved his wacko family.
