A Little Excerpt

From Rockybado 5: #SanFranciscoBound

Five minutes later, Brody Ingram was still sleeping comfortably. David, his older brother, stood watch over his younger brother. And Toby, his younger brother, had returned to the room with his acoustic guitar. He had a song in mind that we could play for both David and Brody, and he knew that this was the right time as any to put his creative juices to a boil.

In his sing-song voice…

“Tacos are delicious. Tacos are yummy. I like a delicious taco every day. Give me all the tacos that you have, and I will consume them all. Yay, tacos!”

He had this written down on a sheet of paper that seemed to date back to 2006, when he was only ten years old. Apparently this song was created that long ago, and it started coming to life just today.

Or was there another time when Toby sang this song to an audience?

After the eighth time that Toby had sung this, Brody finally woke up. Slowly, but he realized that now was the perfect time as any to get out of bed and head for Germany soon. He had heard this song before, but it was a long time ago.

“Good morning, sleepyhead!” Toby shouted in his sing-song voice.
“I appreciate that this was the song you chose,” Brody said sleepily.
“Ready for Germany?”
“Hell yeah, I am.”
“Good! Now we need to head over to the airport soon,” Toby said.
“What time is it?” Brody asked.
“2:31.”
“We still have an hour.”
“That’s good.”
“Especially since everything is packed in the car and ready to go.”

Brody fell back asleep. When that next hour passed, his parents woke him up so that they could head over to the airport. The parents were driving themselves, David, Brody, and Toby to the airport. Brett, the second oldest, had to get ready for a gig tonight, so he couldn’t go with them. And Dawson, the oldest, and his fiancée, Daniela Cardis, had spent a day in Chicago and were planning to stay over at a friend’s tonight.
