Jake and Larry on the Move.

During a recent trip across the state, I stopped at the rest stop to take a break from driving. Besides I had to take a leak also. I was sitting at the table when in pulled a car.  As soon as she stopped the car two boys hopped out of the car and started running towards the bathroom. Yelling all the way I Have To Pee. I don't think they saw me setting at the table. I think all they had on there minds was to get to the bathroom before they pee in there jeans. I smiled thinking of all the times that has happen to me with Robbie.

Then their mother got out of the car and was looking around. Then she saw me setting at the table. I sure am glad that this rest stop was here. They had to go to the bathroom a mile back.
 I told her, "I know how that is, Robbie used to do the same thing just like your boys did."

"You have children also?" She asked.

 "No", I said,  "I don't have any of my own. I raised my nephew since he was two years old. He was a handful. Your boys reminded me of all the times he had to go to the bathroom and went yelling just like your boys did."
She offered details on hers, "My two boys are sure a handful. They are good boys at times. Oh yes... I am Mary."
"I am Jim."
She continued, "The tallest boy is Jake and the short one is Larry.
I inquired, "How old are your boys?"
"Jake is twelve and Larry just turned eleven." She smile triumphantly at her feat thus far I reckoned.
  The boys came running out of the bathroom yelling and laughing. They started to wrestle around on the ground giving me a show.  First Jake would be on top of Larry, and then Larry would be on top of Jake.
Jake would grab Larry's leg and pull it up to his head. His butt was sticking up in the air. He would make Larry tell him he gave up. Then Jake would lower his leg back down to the ground. As soon as Jake was sitting on the ground. Larry hopped up and grabs Jake around the head pulled him to the ground. Larry laid on top of Jake. Then he grabs Jake's arms and holds them to the ground.

"There I have you now." he told Jake.
Then Jake said, "Yes you have me, so NOW I can't move. Larry asked Jake to say please let me up. Jake obeyed his bother's command.
Mary looked at me and told me, "Jake always let's Larry win. Most of the time that is.We have to get back on the road. It has been a pleasure visiting with you."
I stood up and shook her hand and said, "You drive safe'
Mary told the boys that they had to get going. They brushed the grass off their jeans then had an impromptu race to the car.

Respectfully, I waited until she walked to the car and they drove off. As they were drove off, both boys waved goodbye to me. I nodded and waved back.
