Comment from Judy Couch

Excellent

You did a great job of writing from the point of view of a child who wanted to be a cowboy. I got a kick out of her scratching the pony behind his ears. I assume he was the plastic variety.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Judy. I appreciate your taking the time to read and share your comments for my story. I'm so pleased you enjoyed. Yeah, he was a plastic coin-operated ride.

A child's imagination is so priceless, they should retain it for as long as the can. A well meaning adult would deprive them of it before it's time, This si ver well written with a smooth flow of words.

Ah, I loved those rides, Indy. All they did was bounce,
but somehow a kid's imagination turned it into something else. I love the kid-speak, and the stick-out-the-tongue attitude. The bad guys ain't got a chance in hell.
Go get 'em, girl!

Peace, Lee

Thanks, hw, for your great review and comments. You're so right. For a dime, I had one minute of wild fun as my imagination turned me into a root-n-tootin cowboy bouncing along the Wild West. Thanks for reading, hw.

I used to ride those things as a kid, but I had a rocking horse back home I called DIABLO after the Cisco Kid's horse. I wasn't a big Lone Ranger or Gene Autry or Roy Rogers fan, but Hopalong Cassidy and the Range Rider and you had me. Nice trip down memory lane.

You do a great job of making this sound like the speech and attitude of a little child
My kids always loved those rides, and now Sawyer does too - you create such a wonderfully imaginative story from a ten cent, one-minute ride :-) Brooke

Hi Karyn:)
This is a clever contest entry. I like your use of the title, "Another One Bites The Dust," I've heard children utter these word since the early days of TV westerns. I've seen both my children and grandchildren saddle up on mechanical horses and enter the world of make believe. Great nostalgia. I offer my love and Irish Hugs for good luck.

AW, I love the voice of the child, it really brings me back to having the grandchildren, they are past this stage. You have used the prompt well in producing this entertaining little story.

Good luck in the contest

What a charming, adorable story to go with that totally adorable little girl in the picture. Is that the young Karyn? It has to be. This story had no flaws that I could find, seemed to be perfectly edited and perfectly believable. It was fun being inside the young mind of a future nurse/writer. Great job with this and I wish you lots of votes.

Thank you, MissMerri, for such a wonderful review. Your comments made me feel so good tonight, and I'm delighted you enjoyed a bit of my youth. I sure did love riding that horse, and wanting to earn a ride made me put on the best behavior every week. Thank you very much for your kind good luck wishes for the contest.

I remember those days. I actually rode them, but after awhile I lost interest. The horse didn't move fast enough. LOL. The wild west is a bunch of shopping malls now - and where are those heroes today? "Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autry." I think they've been replaced with Sci-fi heroes. Great job! Good luck with the contest. Les

Thanks for your great review for my story, Les. Why am I not surprised that you didn't like the coin-operated horse because it was too slow for you. Thanks for reading and for your comments.

Let a kid talk in dialect. What a sly way to negate them stuffy old rules. It can sneak back and bite you, but you
pulled it off smoothly this time. Excellent.
