Isaac looked over from his book. Cuddles was curled up in his lap.
"Now you know how I felt," he grinned.
"I'm sick of playing video games and watching movies! Argh, I hate this bus."
Isaac tried to hide a smile as his brother banged his head against the wall.
"You could always try writing a song about you being bored," Isaac teased. "Start your own solo album 'Zac is bored'."
"Umm, no."
"Aww, why not?"
"Because I'm not a demented fruit cake like -"
"Ok, since you're so bored," Taylor said. "Rosie sent me this ethics question she was given at school -"
"Ethics?" Zac repeated.
"Yeah. There isn't a right or wrong question either. Ok, so there are four people on a plane that's about to crash. There's only one parachute left. Of the four people, there is a psychic, a monk, a lawyer and a factory worker. Who gets the parachute?"
"Well, not the psychic because she should have known the plane was going to crash in the first place," Zac grinned. "So she must be a really lousy psychic. In fact, she's probably a con artist and makes up stuff to tell her clients."
"If you say so Zac," Isaac smiled.
"And everyone knows lawyers are just... well, they're lawyers, so he can't get it," Zac went on. "So that leaves the monk and the factory worker. Ok, see, the monk is ok, because if he dies he gets to go to Heaven, so I guess the factory worker gets the parachute."
"I said the factory worker too," Taylor nodded. "So did Rosie."
"Yeah, me too," Isaac agreed.
Zac got a disgusted look on his face.
"Well, then I'm changing my answer, 'cause everyone else is saying the factory worker!" he declared.
Isaac and Taylor grinned at each other as Zac frowned in thought.
"Ok, I got it, I got it," he said at last, a twinkle in his eye. "I'd give it to the lawyer."
"The lawyer?" Taylor repeated. "Why?"
"Yeah, I thought you figured that y'know, he was the scum of the earth and kept criminals out of jail," Isaac added, teasing.
Zac grinned at his brothers, savouring the moment.
"I'd give the lawyer the parachute so that when he landed he could sue the airline for not having enough parachutes!"
His brothers laughed.
