A Neglected Boy    "The Twins" XXI

jacoblion@tutanota.com

The story is told by either Jake or Kori in alternating Chapters.

............. Kori was next in the water with Ethan, Justin and Kyle.  I
remained on Jabbering with a good book about Greek history and Olympic
Games.  Looking at Kyle, Justin, and Ethan I almost thought they had been
reading the part about the early Olympic Games athletes performing naked.
The story goes a little like this, but I think there were other reasons
......

   Ancient Olympians in 776 BCE originally wore loincloths to compete in
and it was later that a runner named Orhippus decided to go naked probably
at the fifteenth Olympic Games 720BCE in order to win the race.  Now all
those dates are in question and are argued by Greek Historians.  Remember I
am a history professor so this is of interest to me; oh and it looks like
it interests the boys too.

   Now this guy called Thucydides thought athletic nudity was a show of
civility in the face of the barbarism displayed by the Persian enemies to
the East of Greece.  I agree.  Now all this brings to mind a word we use
all the time ... "gymnasium" and that comes from a Greek word meaning
naked.

   Young Greek males would go to the "Gymnasium" to work out, play games
and such "naked".  Athletes were often ideal bodies that served as models
for artists and these bodies were shaped by extreme discipline and Greek
athletes prided themselves in competing with each other in self control;
now I am not sure what self control is in reference to.  In Rome it was
Nero who built the first Gymnasium and the Romans had a slightly different
twist.  It is known that the adjoining smaller rooms were used as baths and
in many cases for sex; so much for the history lesson.

   I heard Kori holler for the beach ball and then the boys were chanting
for me to join them.  I'm thinking the crystal clear water around Jabbering
has become a Gymnasium and seeing that the boat is holding anchor I do
think it's time for me to get wet, wetter.  I jumped in and the water was
warm and from our anchorage it was a perfect view to about 20 seals sunning
on the beach a hundred yards away.  Seals also draw sharks.

   It was ball tag I'm it ..... I tried the best I could but these rug-rats
and their swimming ability made it difficult to hit anyone of them.  Ahhh
but as Ethan distracted Kori for a second I made my attack and bounced the
ball right off his head.  Rug-rats had a fit of laughing and Kori hit Kyle
with the ball and the game ended with 5 Olympic swimmers exhausted and
hungry.  What could be better than burgers and chips and OJ with Sprite?
Well that's what we're having.

   Lunch over it was time for some fishing and we were in our best fishing
clothes.  Did I hear someone ask what our best fishing clothes are?
Fishing clothes are the ones that get real smelly with sweat, fish scales,
blood n guts the stuff the rug-rats really love.

   How we clean the clothes is a great story, we just take those greasy
grimy, fish scale, smelly, covered in fish guts, and sweat best fishing
clothes and stuff them in a big net bag and tow them behind Jabbering for
about 30 minutes.  If the sharks don't get them we rinse them in fresh
water and they look almost new; well slightly worn but more like expensive
fashion clothes.

   Ethan had Justin and Kyle's lines in the water and before the rest of us
could get our lines in the water Kyle had a fish hooked.  It was a good
size Flounder and would be great tonight in a seafood stew.  I think for me
and Kori it was more fun to just watch the boys as they fished and argued
who was the best fisherman.  Certainly each story told by Justin and Kyle
showed that the fish they caught got bigger and bigger; you might say it
was a whale of a tale.

   The afternoon ended with Ethan as the big winner as he landed a nice
Bluefish.  We pulled anchor and stuffed the fishing clothes in our net bag
and towed it as we headed back to the mooring.  Rug-rats and a teenager
were covered in Hawaiian tropic sunscreen; Kori said it's not the best
protection but it smells real good, I for one love it.

   We had just enough sail to make slow progress so we could enjoy the sun
and salt sea air.  Kori had the wheel and I walked forward to check the
boys.  Kori was right and Kyle, Justin and Ethan were slightly red.  I sent
rug-rats back with Kori to get shorts and shirts on.  Ethan was asleep and
I think must have been having a good dream as his swimsuit left nothing to
the imagination, I just nudged him and said . . . "Ethan you're getting
very red I think it's time for shorts and shirt."

   Ethan woke realized his situation and quickly turned on his stomach and
said . . . "Thanks Jake just 5 more minutes."  He and I both had a slight
smile as I walked back to join Kori, Kyle and Justin in the cockpit.  Soon
we were all rinsed off, dressed in comfortable shorts and a better
non-greasy sunscreen.  Family powwow time and it was decided to hike as
much of Cuttyhunk as we could for the rest of the afternoon.

   Justin and Kyle had their treasure bags and cameras and Ethan had a
treasure bag of his own.  I told Kori we needed to watch for poison ivy and
perhaps stick to good trails and not go pushing through the bushes.  Last
thing we needed was to have any of us covered in nasty itchy oozing
blisters.  Kori laughed because he remembered one time when he and Peter
ended up with a case of poison ivy in a particular uncomfortable area.

   We hiked to the highest point following Justin and Kyle as they took
photo after photo.  Ethan had this guide book and was explaining this and
that about the island and it made Kori poke at me as he said . . . "Jake do
you remember when I used to do that?"  . . . I answered . . . "Yes Kori I
can remember when we would go to Newport and New Bedford, and you would
learn just about everything you could you just loved all our adventures".

   Ethan heard my conversation with Kori as he began to read out loud . . .
"History texts say the first English settlement in New England was
established by Bartholomew Gosnold" now that led to some laughs by the
rug-rats who decided to nickname Ethan, Bartholomew, and Ethan didn't
appreciate it but he did continue with his lecture .... . . .  "and his
band of pioneers on Cuttyhunk in 1602. .... Hey rug-rats you better be
listening I giving a test tonight ..."  Ethan did continue to tell us that
much has changed in the past 400 years and the great groves of oak, beech
and cedar are gone and replaced by chokecherry, scrub oak and other stunted
trees.

   There are many birds and some small wildlife and Kyle and Justin are
finding just about everything on the Island.  Amazingly the island is only
2.5 miles long and only three-quarters of a mile wide and Kori, Ethan and I
are getting quite a tour as we follow the rug-rats winding this way and
that way through the trails uphill, downhill and to the beach.  Kori and I
have noticed that Kyle and Justin have found a few treasures.

   We arrived at the beach and then it is time to pee.  Well Kori and I are
happy it's not in or behind some bush but there's not much cover and things
are out hanging in midair for all to see.  Speaking about seeing
...... Justin and Kyle have this new expression to get our attention and
here it comes . . . . "Can we talk?" says big mouth Kyle . . .  Kori always
wants the boys to know they can ask any question they want and he and I
will give the best honest answer we can, so Kori says . . . "What's up
Kyle?"

   Kyle and Justin are very curious and they have been peeking at Ethan
when he takes a pee, well actually they don't peek they just try to get as
close as they can and stare.  Rug-rats seem fascinated with Ethan's penis.
So Kyle looks directly at Kori and says . . . "Kori can we get our penis
cut to look like Ethan's it's cute and me n Justin don't like that skin
stuff on ours." . . . Ethan and I just had this big grin and let Kori take
care of this one.

   Kori and I use the term `cut or not cut' and so I guess Justin and Kyle
have picked up on it.  Kori looked at Justin and Kyle and said . . . "You
know you have asked a real good question" . . .  now Ethan and I are glued
to Kori and what he will say next . . . . Kori went on . . . "I think the
next time you and Justin go to the pediatrician you can ask him that
question and he can give you the best answer and tell you how it's done."
Kyle and Justin were ok with the answer but I can bet it won't stop them
from checking out Ethan every chance they get.

   We walked almost every inch of the beach that we could and the boys were
finding treasures and packing them into their treasure bags.  We headed
back to Jabbering and I started a real nice seafood stew.  It had fish,
shrimp, clams, mussels, potatoes and onion and I just let it sit and simmer
as we all played monopoly.  Dinner was soon ready and it was a warm evening
so we just sat with shorts on and enjoyed stories but the rug-rats; um
you'll find out.  .....  Oh by the way I should say for those who really
don't know the rug-rats well .... they have an incredible imagination.

   Tonight was story night and we all had to tell stories.  Kori told a
story of Old Salem, Massachusetts and witches and magic spells that turned
little boys into half dogs and half goats and Kyle and Justin loved it.
Ethan told a story about a boy and his brothers and how they wanted to
become Knights of the Round Table.  Rug-rats immediately were playing sword
fighting.  I told a story about a man lost on an island fighting pirates.
The best story was told by Kyle and Justin.

   Rug-rats have been reading the story called "Sailing Alone Around the
World, by Joshua Slocum in his sloop called The Spray.  Justin and Kyle
love the book and are now reading it for the second time.  Justin will read
a chapter to Kyle, and then Kyle will read a chapter to Justin.  Little did
we know how much the rug-rats learned from the book but were about to find
out.

   Stories ended and it was time for bed.  In the morning we would not
hurry and perhaps around noon set sail to Martha's Vineyard.  We were all
very tired from a day of swimming, fishing and hiking around the island.
Justin and Kyle were in their cabin, Ethan had his big bed and Kori and I
were having just a little adventure of our own in our cabin, Quietly!.

   It was just after 4am when we heard Ethan screaming in pain and
hollering HELP!  Kori and I ran to Ethan to find Kyle and Justin laughing
hysterically but trying to remove the crab that had attached itself to
Ethan's finger; could have been attached to something else as he was naked.
Now that was not the only problem.  I got the crab off Ethan's finger as
Kori was spitting mad and rug-rats continued to have their fit of laughing.
It seems that this crab had found Kori's favorite boating jacket and just
about torn the bottom half and one sleeve to ribbons.

   Now I was beginning to giggle about the situation until Ethan held up my
favorite straw hat that no longer even resembled a hat as there was no
brim.  Kori was looking around and we heard a scratching noise.  We had the
damn crab in a mixing bowl and then Kyle spotted the second crab on the
navigation table as it was shredding our paper charts of the islands.
Justin ran to the head to pee and was laughing so hard only drops made it
into the toilet with the majority on the deck.  ......  Oh Kori was pissed
! ! !

   Kyle and Justin had learned all about this in Chapter 19 of "Sailing
Alone Around the World" and thought it would be fun to bring the two crabs
onboard Jabbering to have crab races . . . . so they said.  Kori wanted to
make Kyle pick up the second crab but thought better of it after seeing
Ethan's finger still bleeding.

   The two crabs found their way over the edge of the boat and into the
water.  Kori and I and Ethan were a little pissed but then we looked at the
rug-rats and they looked like they were gonna cry, fake crying like fake
news, so it ended up we hugged them and said it was Ok but not to bring
anything onboard again.  Their just 9, their tyrants, their cute, their
trouble, their adorable, their impish and we love them.  Then Justin and
Kyle told us a little more about that chapter and I think it would be best
to lash Kyle and Justin to Kori and myself or Ethan when ashore from now on
because we're afraid of what comes next.

   Ethan grabbed `The Twins" and took them to bed with him for what was
left of the night and all three had boxers on.  Kori and I returned to our
cabin almost afraid to go to sleep but sleep came fast.  Morning and
mornings light also came fast and Kori and I were up washed and dressed and
in the galley making breakfast.  The smell of bacon woke the twins and
Ethan and rug-rat kicked the covers off to the deck and all three boys were
naked.

   I looked, ... Kori looked, ... Ethan was looking at Kori and me as
Justin and Kyle just got up and said . . . . "We sleep better that way,
it's no big deal." ....  It was so like it's the most natural thing in the
world for them to be naked except it left Ethan quickly trying to recover
the covers from the deck.  It's just how teens wake up, hmmm now I think
about it so do Kori and I most mornings.
