“You want ME to do THAT?” I asked. “No way.”
Uncle Stu laughed. “I thought the same thing the first time I saw it. It’s called parkour, and it takes practice. Lots of practice. But get good at it, and maybe you can use it to save the world one day.”
“Me? Save the world? Yeah, right,” I said. I’d always dreamed of it, but the closer I got, the further away it seemed.
“You will, Peter. One day,” said Dad. I was so in my head that I hadn’t noticed Dad watching us from the back door. “Do you remember that video game Frankenstein Shark Attack? As you’ll recall, I couldn’t figure out that combo move to save my life. You had to teach it to me over and over again. Remember?”
“Of course I remember,” I said. “That was my favorite game. We used to get up early and play a few rounds every day before school. It took you forever to get that move right. But once you did, you kicked butt all the way through level five.”
“Exactly,” Dad said. “And how did I manage to get that move right?”
“Practice,” I said. “And lots of it.” I finally saw his point. I had to keep trying.
“No more jibber-jabber. We’ve got work to do,” Uncle Stu said. “Anyone who’s not training to be a lean, mean hero machine, go inside.”
Dad was about to head back in when he stopped. “You know what, I think I’ll stay.”
“Oh yeah?” Uncle Stu said, tossing a wooden saber to my dad. “Think you can handle this?”
“Easily,” Dad said.
Uncle Stu laughed, aiming his saber. “Please. When we were growing up, you could never beat me in a sword fight.”
“That’s because you cheated.” Dad smirked, raising his sword.
“Well, if you think you can beat me now, you should try,” Uncle Stu said, smirking back. They shook hands, then moved into fighting positions.
“And… GO!” I said.
