I had no idea how I was going to accomplish seducing my brother until fate took over when Roger came home from the store one night and was having supper while Carol and I sat with him to keep him company.
With his mouth half full of mashed potatoes, “There is a hardware show in Rochester this week, How about it Carol? Want to go with me? It will give Bobby and Kate a chance to earn their keep while they watch the store and we can get away for a couple of days.”
I could almost see the wheels turning in Carol’s head. “Hell no I don’t want to spend all day walking around looking at hardware. “Why don’t you take your sister? You have not seen her for almost a year and you’re always at the store so this will give you some time together. Besides she likes hardware.”
I had to turn my head and cough after Carol’s terrible pun.
“How about it Kate? Want to spend some time with your big brother?”
“Sure big brother I’ll go. Can we take the bikes?”
“Hell yah, that’s a great idea, let’s do it.”
