Comment from Rachelle Allen
HAHAAHAH. This is great. So very amusing. There was a terrific comedian I saw once named Mrs. (Something) and she had your same droll sense of humor about family. She said her twenty-something son was lamenting because she was hassling him about a chore he'd just completed in a less-than-well-done manner. "I don't know why you even bothered to have me, then, if I'm such a disappointment to you," he told her. She said, "Well, we didn't know it would be YOU!" She continued, "We were hoping it would've been someone with a JOB!" She had gray hair, too.
Adorable read. I loved it from start to finish, Sis. This looks like a contest winner to me!! xo

Now it is my turn to go HAHAHA for that story you recounted. Great comeback lines. Droll. Hmmm. Yes, dry humour, but mine can get a bit sticky from time to time (and it's not always date pudding that does it.)

Again, cracking me up. This is a solid entry into the dribble flash fiction contest. It's great. You do 50 words proud. Love the picture and your joke. Very good. I think you'll do well in the vote. Well done. Lynda

As I have no kids i have had to pen this from observing my friends. My white haired and bald friends.

I like hanging with people that make me look good. LOL!!
Comment from RodG
One wonders if Junior is a teenager or a college student back home. Anyway, his mother leaves little doubt about the cause of her white hair and Dad's baldness. Now, will he truly get the message? Just the proper tint of sarcasm in your tone, Lisa.

Junior is far too self absorbed to even notice if his mother has purple hair. I don't have kids so this is pure observation of my friends. I do not have white hair but they do.
Comment from Michele Harber
This is a cute and relatable Dribble Flash Fiction, and the character you created speaks in a real voice. I can tell you the story behind every gray hair on my head - and three out of four of them start with my daughter. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Alex Rosel
Ha, ha. Another nice ending with a twist.
These flash fiction pieces are extremely difficult to get right, but I think you've achieved it with this one. A nice application of crafted structure. :)
I enjoyed reading it. Thank you.
Good luck with the competition.

Comment from Ms. Snyder
Wow! - Lisa May,
Virtual Six right off the bat, I gave all my sixes away about 7 hours ago, but this is hilarious! A great dribble flash - you have written something really good here! Funny always trumps everything else for me. I am sorry that I am just now getting around to reading this. I hope to be more on top of things going forward after this weekend. Happy Easter! Cheers, Fonda

What a boost of a review you have given me here. Thanks so much, Fonda. I love that you get it is funny. I had a giggle when i thought of how to write it. I don't have kids myself and my hair is not white, but all my friends' hair is (if they have any left!).
-
I don't have white hair yet either, but I should!!! After what my 25-year-old son put me through during his 15-17 years... LOL, I really enjoy your humor!! Cheers,

Oh yes, teenagers are life threatening. You mention my humour... I seem to have found a way to express it since joining FS. I hadn't written much in the past, but since joining 4 months ago I have tried different territory and the humour seems to be coming to the fore.

Love it, LisaMay. The kids will know one day when their time comes to be a parent and find out why their parents appear crazy to them. Well done and good luck in the contest.

I don't have kids myself. I also don't have white hair, yet. I have noticed there is a correlation.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
He he he, this has a ring of truth to it Lisa, if we don't tear our hair out as they are growing up, then it either falls out from all the stress or turns white with the shock! Loved every word, love Dolly x

I don't have children myself, but I have certainly noticed all those afflictions you mention in my friends!
