Don't Screw It Up

It was so much easier to be young when I was a boy.  No acts of Congress were required just to play with a friend.  "Play-date" had not yet been coined.  Raiding the fridge was a right, if not a requirement.  And nary a murmur or complaint could be heard when healthy snack food was not to be found.

That's why it came as no surprise when Logan sat me down after school one day.

"When Luke and Cedric come over it's going to be a really serious play-date that I want to talk to you about," he began.  "We're going to watch Scooby Doo 2 and you're going to pour apple juice and make popcorn," he said, giving me a very stern and appraising look.  "And you're going to have to buy Popsicles."
