Violet Zimmerman was being helped into Daxton Lancaster's car by her sister-in-law, while Lorelei Howard, holding her grandson, sat in the back seat. Only Robert Lancaster rode with his uncle.
Worried the little guy might misbehave, Joseph Lancaster fastened his seatbelt and repeatedly advised, "Robert, you need to listen when your uncle is driving, otherwise it will be dangerous, and your uncle won't be able to take you to see the gorillas."
After Joseph Lancaster finished advising, the little guy nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
Robert Lancaster, just over two years old, had his own room. At night, seeing his brother live with Dad and Mom, the little guy felt quite envious.
