This is an amusing story. The old syllable count is a pain. This woman would do anything to win. Your dialogue was funny. Good luck in the contest. Barbara

No 4 stars from me. I always give you five and sixes. =] This is very cute and fun to read. I'll come visit you in prison. Maybe you'll get sent close to me. =] Hope you do well in the contest. Rox

    This is a poke at us all here at FanStory. I had fun with it in every way. It actually has a bit of truth to it. People don't like to be corrected, even when they say they do. Thus, the name. A four star rating is like the bitter pill of death, especially when there is no reason as to why. I plan on staying out of prison, indefinitely. :))

This is so cute and a lovely entry for the Dialogue prompt. Your clever use of a FS scenario will draw everyone in to this write and makes us all smile. So well done!!

This is a fun and unique little dialogue only entry for the contest. We do have to come up with something to please everybody when we enter these contests--mainly the judges. Best of luck in it. Marilyn

What a fun idea for a writing piece. I LOVED it. I felt like I was there, watching this conversation take place. HAHAHA

Great job and congratulations on the blue ribbon! Well earned. I think a lot of us writers can relate to your conversation. LOL

That certainly sounds like a conversation someone would have, or is this a real conversation? Those syllables always get me when I enter a contest. Just when I think I have it figured out someone corrects me and I have to change it to meet the standards.

This is amusing. Without much detail, your characters become real to the writer. It's interesting how some readers will be invited to take sides. I had fun doing different voices for each character. I wonder if the reader were to do the same, to which character would they assign the feminine voice & which the gruff. Very well done.

    It's sounds like me and my alter ego or a FanStory friend. It could go either way. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Sending you my best today as always,

This is really funny. I especially like the part about the physics lesson learned by throwing a bottle of formula across the room. But can't the line "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." be interpreted as a scientific fact? Maybe it was lifted from a textbook written by a scientist? I really had fun reading this!

Hello Sally, a terrific Tuesday to you. Thank you for sharing that Dialogue only entry with us. I was thoroughly entertained, it was clever and humorous. I counted it a few time and the syllable count was off. LOL. Have a great day!
