It's a good thing I don't get sea sick, because this boat trip is taking a long time

Simon and I had fun in the back seat I especially liked provoking Simon and I didn't stop when Simon asked.

So Simon just had to get me back. "I don't want a cousin like this," said Simon. "Well, maybe he's not so bad after all."
