part 27
With this Lisa looked at me, and without even having to put an upward-angled nod on her head, I knew her idea was to have us three boys boat home right away, even if it was 4am.
Me: I’m fine without a sleeping bag, I’ll just crash over here on this side of the tent.
Lisa: Isn’t it better if you take your friends home . Your parents will be missing you.
Me: I doubt that. After a deep alcoholic sleep they will wake up and see the boat gone and figure out we’re out messing around on the lake somewhere.
Lisa: You mean they don’t know you came down here at midnight?
Me: Your mom knew, but otherwise, except for longer lines at the bar, I bet no one noticed.
Lisa: Then that’s worse.
Me: Oh? But your parents have already come home, and they never even bothered ot look in on us. If your mom was worried about what we were doing, don’t you think she would have come up to say hello?
Lisa: Maybe.
Me: Well, either we have parental approval, or the other guys are asleep already, or both. It’s more dangerous to try to get home in the dark than in daylight. I haven’t heard any of the girls scream, so it appears everything is under control, right?
Lisa: I guess so Barry; you sure have a gift for persuasion.
