Hi Bill,
Wa ha ha ha! This is a masterpiece you've created, my friend. A superb contest entry that will be quite difficult to outdo. Gotta love kids these days, right? LOL They are certainly anything but oblivious to all that is going on in the world. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the competition. Jan :-)

Comment from Gail Denham
Wow - how old did you say this grandchild was? Amazing. But then they do grow fast and mature in thinking way faster than we imagine. I took two g.kids out today for frozen yogurt - they are all becoming such thinkers - growing up quickly in this modern generation. A nice story, one that rings rather true I think.

Comment from Gloria ....
Well it's been a while since I have seriously played with my dollies, but I can really get behind this. It seems Emily is quite precocious and might just be planning a coup. Everyone has a shadow government these days.
This is a terrific flash fiction and I wish you all the best with the contest committee. :))

I like the Irony behind Bill. I have been away, hope all has been well. Hoe you do well with it. Nicely thought through and presented in its own style.
My best wishes.

LOL. Well good for Emily - I guess she should be running for President. I think kids have a good sense of justice without the bureaucracy that grown-ups put in place.

Comment from Cass Carlton
It sounds to me as though you've been caught in a" bloodless coup" yourself and been" watching the children" while their mother was otherwise occupied. Children are fascinating to observe when they don't know you're there. Emily apparently has been watching the nightly news on TV, Her "Shadow Government" sounds as though
she has it all worked out. Bravo ! Good Luck in Toyland kiddies . cheers Cass

Sounds like someone is watching too much news. With the way everything is all over all the time I'm sure this is bound to happen. You did great with it

Comment from Shirley McLain
I would say that is one smart little girl that knows a whole lot about government. If I had been that Grandfather I would say "we'll play later honey," and slowly back out of the room. :) Great job. Have a good evening. Shirley

Comment from brenda faye curtis
I really hope you win this contest, Bill, cause I think everyone would get a kick out of this brilliant story the way I did. There's something about the kids throwing a hard left curve towards adults who underestimate them that I find greatly satisfying. Great story!
