Hi, Beck;
Great use of the allotted word count to build the two characters in the story. We know the little girl was raised by straight-laced women who didn't believe in lipstick or the life of an old maid.
The woman described came to life for me. I could see her in my mind.
Great job and good luck in the contest,

Thanks as always, Patty.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
Great work with the dialect which adds to some of the humor. I especially like the line:"she was probably goin' straight down to you-know-where" I love stories with the perspective of a child. You have captured the who picture here in 100 words. Excellent writing.

Thank you, Liz. I think I have an overly developed child. Grin.

How cute, a little girl sizing up her teacher. First impressions don't look too promising, but she'll come to like the teacher, who will not be so scary in a few weeks. :)

Hello Beck, this is a very good 100-word flash fiction for the contest and best of luck with this entry. I liked the descriptions of Grammy, you created her to be quite a character. I found this funny and entertaining and have no suggestions for improvement and saw no errors.
Thanks for sharing your writing, which I would recommend to other readers for review, Ana.
