True story about my younger sister.7 total reviews

Kids! they all come with their own particular personalities and challenges. What did Nelly grow up to be? Sounds to me as if she might be just the right educator for especially curious kids. Enjoyed the story and good luck in the contest. ann

I assume Nellie was your sister. I am afraid if I had been her mother, I would have had to knock her in the head. At least I would have thought about it. You did a great job, and I liked the story. Have a great day. Shirley

Hello Wilkswrites,
What a great story. I felt like I was right there with you observing the antics of your sister. You have to wonder what goes through the minds of certain kids. Did she become a scientist when she grew up? It sounds like she had a natural curiosity that would have served her well. Good luck in the contest, this may be a winner.
Have a blessed evening.

I have to tell you, I was nervous just reading it because I knew something disastrous was going to happen! You did a very good job of describing Nelly - from her nervousness to her physical appearance.
As you are an educator, I would expect grammar and punctuation to be on point, and it was. Good luck with this contest.

It was interesting how one person can get themselves in such a mess so quickly!

It also, read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.

Hello,
Nice to read you.
Your work is touching in its simplicity, that is to say, taking something as mundane as painting and sharing the adventure. Reading about your sister reminded me of a book I loved as a child: Ramona the Teenage Pest. She had a good heart. Trying to do good landed her in hot water (in your sister's case, paint).
I saw colour, movement in the characters, suspense and childhood antics, also twinges of humour. Thank goodness for sisters, or there would be no story or history.
Great job. Good luck on your entry!
