“You may be right.”

“Are we in agreement?”

“Yeah. Kala’s the farter. I have no doubt.”

Noa writes the name and Lani continues.

“So that leaves Ino, and the last story. If you have correctly identified the other two, Ino is the one whose first kiss resulted in three stitches.”

“Wait. Let’s think about this,” Noa says. “It would make more sense that a girl’s lips would be more tender, therefore more likely to be bruised or injured.”

“Is that your professional opinion?” Kala chuckles.

“What are you talking about? It’s not like the boys are eating rocks. Our lips are just as tender,” Alek adds.

“I second that!” I say, weighing in on the subject.

“Besides, maybe he or she was the rough one. Who’s to say?”

“Good point, Mak.”

“No. I think we stay with our original choices,” Noa adds. “Kimo’s the penis lover, Kala’s the farting arsonist, and Ino’s the muncher.”

“I can hardly wait to hear this!” Ino says, hands behind his head.

Mom stands and clears her throat.

“Here we go. One of my children decided he would make it his mission one summer, to bed a woman over forty. He was sixteen at the time. And he accomplished the mission.”

“Congratulations, whoever it was!”

“Of course his father and I had no idea until he told us five years after the fact.”

Guilty as charged. I try staying neutral in expression.

“One of you is a freaky fu…oops, sorry. Freaky funny guy,” Kimo says, eyeing his own kids.

“Sounds like Noa to me,” Kala says. “Let’s pencil him in. See what the other stories are.”

Okay, good. One wrong.

Noa lifts his palms and eyebrows, denying any knowledge of the event.

“Story two. One of my children started, shall we say a garden of illegal vegetation in the backyard?”

The hoots start and Lily looks confused.

“What’s that, Mommy?”

“A garden, honey. One of the boys started a garden with a plant we aren’t supposed to grow.”

She is satisfied with that and goes back to her drawing.

“That isn’t the end of the story. The police chief, who lived behind us, over the fence, discovered the crop and it was a whole thing. Trip to the police department, etc.”
