Hi Mrs KT

Did I relate to this, or what? Life IS dictated by numbers, whether it relates to how many of something we've got, or our age, we're bombarded with this need to increase and expand, yet at the same time, downsize. All very confusing if one lets it get to 'em.

So from this 46 year old with 1 house, 0 fireplace (1 gas heater), 2-kids, 1 cat, 1 dog, 8 fish, 1 budgie, 1 rabbit-soon-to-come, 1 pet alpaca, 1 husband and a size 14 if I can suck it in on a good day, I say best of luck in this 1 contest of 6 words with this very astute piece of writing. xoxoxoxo

A 33 year old, 1 wife (My second, her second husband, but they don't count 'cause they suck.), 3 cats, a jillion fish and twelve gazillion ghosts in our one (gas) fireplace home.

I liked it, dude. I really did. You touched on a aspect of humanity that often gets overlooked.

How many husbands had she had?

Hi Mrs. KT, I totally agree with you. Happiness cannot be defined by numbers. I am tickeld by your author's notes. Size 12 if you suck it in. Mine would be 14 if I do that :) Best of luck with the contest.

Thought I'd take a look as I've just entered, too. Very sad comment on today's 'keep ahead of the Jones's' mentality. I wish I could afford to get a few thousand miles behind them, LOL. Great comment and good luck. Ray xx

What a curious thing to ask, indeed! And what a sad sort of mindset it reveals.

I enjoyed your story, Diane, because it relates to so much that's presented as essential for happiness in Western society. Good luck in the contest!

Oh Dear Louise! I surely enjoyed your visit. We both should add, 2-fisted scone nibblers to our resume, and I would have to add 10 teapots!!! Thank you for stopping by! And thank you! diane

Dear Diane, hose clever of you. These six words are wonderful. They certainly talk about human nature and how important numbers are. Your Author Notes tell of a pseudo intellectual.

Awesome contest entry. I wish you luck. I'll be watching when the voting starts.
Have a very happy weekend, Ana
