This is priceless (even for 2member cents!) I had to thank you for giving me a wonderful smile for today. I love your hyperbole and your conversational tone--definitely win-worthy!

I LOVE Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries. My daughter usually gives me a box for Christmas in my stocking.
That story is hysterical! Some things are worth getting hurt - at least, um other people. :)
What fun to write. And read. Imagination gone wild, and the perfect ending. great!

So creative and such fun to read!!!! It certainly reads like a contest winner, but it is my first one of the entries I've read so far. Good luck. By the way, I love those chocolate covered cherries as well and have not seen them in years. They were always a staple of 'growing-up Christmases'. Thanks for the reminder. ann

LOL, very well done. This is funny, and I am so glad that I don't like chocolate-covered cherries. I do remember them from my childhood, but my mother preferred Millionaires. Great humor, and excellent writing.Good luck in the contest. Terry.

Maybe next year.
Well written. Good work.
Who wouldn't go to fist city for a whole box of Queen Anne's? They are cordial, after all.
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.

Thanks for ending my night of reading on a giggle. This is totally amusing and I didn't believe it for a minute. Once I'd have fought you for those chocolate covered cherries until I ate the full box one Christmas day. Our family has the policy you clean up after yourself; no fun at all when it is Christmas dinner laced with chocolate covered cherries.

I love chocolate covered cherries: especially Queen Anne. They always make me think of Christmas and my mother. Mom always made sure that each of us got out own box every year. Back then they seemed to hold a lot more and they were still only a $1.00 if my memory is correct. I never had to wrestle anyone for my box of sweets, though. This is a hilarious story with a fitting end.

    Lol. My mom still gives me a box for Christmas. Yes, just like everything, they've went up in price too. At the Dollar store you're only getting half a box worth for your buck. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and stars, Mary. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Well, no chocolate covered cherry rewards for either of you, but maybe enough satisfaction between the both of you that the other didn't get to enjoy them either. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
