Hi there,
Ah, now how true is this write. Never agree to give an actual honest opinion when family are involved, not unless you're looking to be ostracised. lol
nice one and best of luck

That's why I'm always careful about giving poems the reviews that they sometimes deserve - especially when they've been penned by one of the fairer sex.

It is an art unto itself! Thanks, tfawcus.

Knowing my wife as I do, I only have her read things I already suspect she will like. I stay far away from subjects that she will argue with me about. Therefore, even when she has critical comments, they are helpful, not angry, combative or dismissive.

This is a very interesting and well written short story you have penned for the 50 Word Story writing prompt. You used very good descriptive words and said a lot in this short story. I enjoyed reading and reviewing this. Blessings, Teri

Comment from Dean Kuch
Ol' Steve has a lot to learn as it pertains to keeping his narrow behind from having to sleep on the couch and out of the dog house.
If your significant other asks you something like; "Honey? Do these jeans make my butt look big?"...LIE!, and say no even if they do!
If she asks you how that new sweet potato pie recipe she found in Woman's Day magazine tasted, even if it had less flavor than a bucket of drywall mud...LIE! and tell her it was one of the best pies you have ever tasted.
If she writes a poem, as in this case, and asks your opinion...LIE! and tell her she's the next Elizabeth Barret Browning or Emily Dickinson.
Do whatever it takes to make your life at home peaceful and argument free.
Great story, and you managed to do it in just 50 words.
I think you got a winner here, Chip.
Good luck!

Hi Chip. Oh dear, this personal review was not very well received. She certainly won't speak to for a while. This is a great entry for the contest. I liked it. All the best. Ulla:)))

Comment from LIJ Red
I have reviewed a number of Jules's on Fanstory over the years. Some were silent even muting and others spoke at great length about me, my intellect, my sainted mother and even my dog...excellent dribble flash...

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
This is great. I find many times I do not understand some of the poetry on here, so I just skip it. It is hard to get a tough review, esp from someone you love. Well done, hope you do well in the contest.

Comment from Rmocruz
I find this brief fiction story to be clever and quite amusing.
The punch line ending could qualify it as an anecdote.
Your photo-art selection is well complementing.
Looks like a promising contest entry, best wishes.
