Such a cute story. A person can imagine the cute little boy being smacked by the cute little girl. Children are always a delight to write about. You touched my soul with this story.

I remember Chevalier's song, I thank Heaven for little girls. I read the lyrics. Back then it sounded weird but now day we would recognize it as a pedophile.

Young love is so cute. It seems like little girls mature faster than boys

Excellent entry for the 100 words flash fiction contest. I love the picture. You fulfilled the contest requirements. Good luck!

You have created such a sweet story, successfully using all the required words. It really is interesting to see how varied the stories are that are being written. Such a clever prompt to pull our stories out of us. Well done!

This story flowed so well even with the required words. I was surprised at the narrator calling the kid a "coward" but that still fit. I liked the storylines, the kids, and the view from the older narrator. Brilliantly done. Hope this does well in the contest!

    Thank you very much, Dolly. I am so pleased you enjoyed my story. Yes, girls were more forward at that age, and we boys didn?t know how to react.

This one-hundred-word story, Thank Heaven for Little Girls, has the proper word count and takes us all back to those days when all things were new and wonderfully scary.

Very interesting and quite unique perspective on love, or seeing love in action. I like the simplicity of the story and the judicious use of the compulsory words. Good luck for the contest!!
