LOL, I am so sorry, but I just had to laugh when reading this. Good luck by the way in the contest. I am so glad you added your narrative not, it clarified several things. This was so well done, it addressed an issue that was rarely talked about, provided humor and took a brave person to write it. Thanks for sharing.

    I've not been called brave before. Delighted to know you enjoyed my post. I must confess it is totally untrue and my maiden aunt would be horrified to such an honourable mention in my writing.

    LOL I sort of figured that out, especially after reading your narrative notes. I was meaning brave because it was a topic that males do not regularily deal with.

    Males brave, we're the bravest creatures on earth. What other animals dare to question their superiors every day!!!

    Not a true story but it was fun to write and imagine what might have been. Thank you Dolly for your generous review

I enjoyed this and think the voters will, too. Mildly risqué and quite amusing. The Speaker evokes sympathy for his status. Especially noteworthy is the poem his maiden aunt wrote. Rod

    The Aunt is mythical as in fact in the story. I just saw the contest and thought this might be fun. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Interesting story. I like how you put this story by strictly speaking. It is unique and curious to find out what the kid is up to and yet he apologizes to the entire class. Excellent work! Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you Raul1 for reading and reviewing my entry. Memories can be a lot of fun sometimes. Either that, or most embarrassing. Thank you again

    I must confess now, it is totally untrue. To me it just sounded like an exaggerated tale of misadventure and I thought I'd enter it in the contest just for fun
