Remember the Philly press gauntlet? They called us charming. We’ve got this.

Mom

You two are such a team

Hudson

No one handles Jake like Scot.

Good job with the deal, bro!

I put my phone face down on the coffee table and look at the ceiling.

No one handles Jake like Scot.

I’ve been getting that compliment my whole life.

I’m starting to wonder if it’s the only one they know how to give me.

“Ilove the smell of mowed grass in the morning,” I say when Logan and I arrive at the stadium.

“I love the smell of my vanilla cozy,” Logan says, taking a long drink and then shivering enough that I give him a look.

“You are so soft.”

“It’s forty-eight degrees,” he says, tucking his face deeper into his hoodie.

I take my phone out, snap a quick picture, and send it to our family chat before Logan can stop me.

Lucas

Aw, Baby Logan is chilly.

Liesel

LOGAN! Are you seriously cuddled up in your hoodie in South Carolina? You are so soft!

Lucas

That’s what I said.

Liesel

In fairness, Lukie, you cry in movies. So you’re both soft.

Lucas

Whatever! Anyone who doesn’t cry watching Up has no soul. His wife! The house! The little Boy Scout who just wants a parent to show up for him!

Totally different than crying over cold.
