“Hey, Uncle Brian,” he called out. “What’s a pirate’s favorite way to travel?” “Hmmm.” He tapped his forefinger on his beard-covered mouth. “On a pirate ship?” “Of course not,” Jake replied. “In an ARRRRR–VEE.” Jake’s mom turned around and glared at her brother. “Brian, you’re corrupting the children. Now you’ve got Jake telling dad jokes.” Uncle Brian shrugged his shoulders. “I can’t help that my awesomeness is contagious.”
