Unjinx You

K, you rascall.

H was away at camp, T was at school, and you were back and forth between home and LCU basketball camp.

It was just you and I.

We’re getting out of the car, and you casually say “What?” asking me to repeat myself.

I do – and you repeat it back with me and say “Jinx” before I can think.

My eyes got big and I glared at you in silence.

You cackled with a loud laugh and declared:

Dad, there’s no one here to unjinx you!

I couldn’t believe it.

I mean, nobody in our family stayed jinxed for longer than a few seconds because someone is always there for the unjinx!

Eventually, you did unjinx me, but it was an ordeal with a lot of laughing. 🤣

I love you.
