This meets the contest requirements splendidly. I liked the food fight approach as they always add to the enjoyment of eating even if some lack the sense of humor to appreciate them LOL. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

I love it! Tell your bro and sis they're fuddy duddies. Good thing none of the bullets hit the happy dancing couple. When's the next family get together? I want to come and bring my own bag of m&m's. What fun! :)

You did a great job with the prompt. I like your opening lines as you get to the point immediately. While you explained this well in a funny way,

Best wishes in the contest. Jan

Thank you. My sister-in-law is still a fun person today. She is always ready for something different or outrageous.

Good for Mary. Heck, Frank and I still shoot each other by blowing the paper wrapper that holds the straw--yeap, in restaurant too. Who cares what others think. However, I wouldn't do it around my children. Bad example for the kids. Nichole wouldn't think it funny at all.
I loved your true story.

Thank you. My older sister didn't think a wedding was an appropriate place for such nonsense, as she put it. My sister-in-law and I are always being condemned for doing crazy things.

The world is too full of conformists. Continue doing your own thing.

Great story. Reminds of the way my brothers and I acted at family gatherings that were supposed to be serious. Glad to see that we were not the only ones who had M&M wars.

OMG! This was hysterical! I can't remember when I laughed so hard. You did a great job of setting the stage. You had me hooked immediately. I was right there with you all the way - even when the ammo hit your brother and sister, right to the 'spoilsports' end!

This could have been a boring or dull piece, especially with so few words allowed. However, you skilfully chose the right words and a great sense of timing to re-create a very funny story. Nice work. Good luck in the contest. I think this will be a contender for sure! I'd give you a six, but I have read some excellent pieces this week, and have none left.

Thank you. My sister-in-law and I are always doing crazy things when maybe we shouldn't. We were having a great time until the spoilsports put a stop to it.

Sounds like fun to me! LOL, thank goodness it was M&Ms, (I would have eaten them) and not jelly, lol! Lovely little story about enjoying eating, not that you did that! LOL. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra

Thank you. We had a lot of fun that night. My brother and sister got a little ticked off, but they got over it.

hi there,

I enjoyed this piece and think this one has good chance of taking the prize. A couple of little things I noticed as I read.

Tunk! Something hit me - perhaps thunk! would be more apt descriptive noise than tunk?

of my head.I looked - need a space after the full stop here.

Mary,was trying too hard - need a space after the comma here.

"Okay, two can play this game", - comma should be inside the marks.

her ear,while the other peanut - need a space after the comma here.

"Take that", I snickered. - comma should be inside.

All the best
GMG

Thank you, my friend. I know better than to place commas like I did. I will correct at once. My mind wasn't really on the writing, I just put my husband in the hospital yesterday.

This is a fun story. It sounds like fun to me but there also have to be a couple of party poops out there:)

No spag. You did not give your word count though in author notes per contest rules.
