“Oh shit! Busted,” Ino says.

“That sounds like something Mak would do.”

“Why are you saying that? We just met a few hours ago!”

“Shut up! Don’t give them any clues!” Alek adds.

He zips his mouth and waits.

“I’m thinking it’s one of the older brothers,” Kimo says. “Probably Alek. He looks like he enjoys the haze.”

What about me says that?

“They all look like that!” Kala says.

“Takes one to know one,” Noa responds.

“Quit stalling. Make your pick.”

They exchange looks and Kimo makes the pick. “It’s Mak.”

Mom tells the final story.

“That leaves one. So Alek would be the one who gave one of his brothers laxatives, to get rid of him when they were competing for the same girl’s attention.”

“What?”

Laughter comes from both sides of the table.

“Brilliant and evil,” Ino says. “But would they be competing for the same girl? How old are you, Mak?”

“Am I required to answer?”

“No. No questions,” Lani declares.

“That’s alright. I think his girlfriends would be too young for Noa or Alek. And their’s too old for him.”

“Are you kidding? One was screwing a forty-year-old!”

“Kimo! The kids!”

That brings agreement.

“Yeah. It’s one of the older ones,” Ino says. “Let’s just pick.”

“I’m thinking of the F word. Sending it your way,” Noa chuckles.

“Alright make your choices,” Lani says.

The Anakonis confer and reach their decisions. Kimo speaks for the team.

“Noa is the GILF guy, Mak’s the weed whacker, and Alek’s the shit disturber.”

Kala claps in approval. Lily joins her aunt, even though she has no idea what they are clapping about. The sudden explosion of sound scares the little guy. He starts crying.

“Everybody set with their decisions?”

A chorus of affirmatives say they are.
