"Right, Dad, let's settle this!" I announced, practically vibrating with excitement. "The annual family camping trip. Tell me your version of events." I clapped my hands together.

Dad chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Well, your version usually involves bears, stolen marshmallows, and a near-drowning incident." He raised an eyebrow.

"It was a thrilling adventure! And you, you were so relaxed, even when the tent flooded." I took a deep breath, reliving the thrill. "I remember the look on your face when the skunk visited our camp."

"I recall a lot of mud, a lot of rain, and a very grumpy teenager," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "And you, you were the fearless leader."
