Hi Mikey,
This is hilarious to say the least. Canada missing Bingo. Ha!

I like the photo you chose to enhance your babysitter. Egad! Glad I'm all grown up. LOL

Wow! You have some great characters! I love the names. There is much authenticity here and the character development is divine. I can see a whole story developing here. There are so many possibilities. Maybe something to think about? However, I totally enjoyed as is. God Bless! Pat

I love the name choices. Truthful, Khrushchev, and Canada. This was a funny yarn and now I have to wait for the second part? You're killing me! I like the displays of confusion, and indignation from the characters. It all came through in the dialogue and speech patterns. Great job. Gretchen

Nice yarn you are spinning here, full of colorful mountain style language.

The characters are lively and fun and your story flows well.

I enjoyed this very much.

Well I can certainly see where Truthful gets his name from!

A wonderful mixture of moonshine and malarkey and told with great gusto by the champeen baby-sitter himself.

I will keep an eye out for the next instalment.

Now here I come along and read this absolutely hilarious tale when I don't have a six star to give it. Don't that beat all?
Where do I begin? Having to explain sitting. The box with the word wine on it. The Budweiser commercial with the bears being real, and her reaction to it. Vince McMahon coming with sleds full of wrestlers to convince bigfoot to be a wrestler. The fact that wrestling is real and.her reaction to that. All of these were simply priceless comedic moments. The only very minor complaint I have is the names. It took a second read through to get used to the names. Other than that a fantastic read, so funny.

Although the story was very well-written, I found the beginning a slow starter. I found my interest perk with the sentence,'Now,I happened to be at the North Pole' I found you wavering your tale with grandpa Joe and those Aussies a bit confusing. I wish you luck.

LOL, Loved it, Michael! Hope you get the next bit written quickly. You have turned a babysitting job into something totally off this planet. Great imagination, and I love the quirky dialect. Part one was superb, part two is what I'm waiting for!! :) Sandra

He might be a bit too big and scary to be a babysitter, for me, anyway. Very creatively written, with good touch of humour and descriptions. You have a good imagination. Great picture and enjoyable read. faye
