Little Johnny is watching sport on a huge flatscreen TV when his Dad sticks his head around the bedroom door.

"Where'd you get that TV from, son?" says Dad.

"I bought it with my hiking money," says Little Johnny.

"What?" says Dad. "Whoever pays anyone 'hiking money'?"

"Uncle George did all last summer," says Little Johnny. "Whenever he came around to see Mom, he always said 'here's twenty bucks, kid -- take a hike!"

Will Johhny's new sibling be his cousin or brother/sister?

Many kids were taught to call adult friends of the family "Uncle" or "Auntie" ThisOrThat, not just by their forename. So if we're lucky, there is not too much banjo in this story.

...Or else Uncle George is Dad's asshole brother.

Or in some areas his mothers brother. Keeps the genepool stable.

I've never heard the word banjo used that way before. I like it.

Well, I write novels in my spare time.

I'd like to say I sell novels in my spare time, but I am nothing if not honest.

I think I was having a good day at the typewriter when I had an enormous bull-headed man step up as jousting tutor to a slip of a girl, giving her "a look that could only be described as minatory".
