Thank you Barb for the excellent review and kind comments. Everyone said he would be a lawyer one day. He didn't -- but I'm sure his children give him the same fun he gave me :)))))
Blessings and stay well.

Comment from royowen
What a good boy, he couldn't help himself from throwing something, temptations sometime take a hold of all of us at times,, but Jimmy knew what absolute truth was, he may well be beheaded, but it will be for the truth, not a travesty of truth. A beautifully written flash fiction Janet, well done, blessings Roy

I?ve found with my grands they are not afraid to tell the truth, they know they have parents who love, and are merciful. Bless you Janet.

Truth will out! "It was green beans, therefore I am innocent your Honor!"
Case dismissed on a technicality!
Every kid is a born lawyer when forced to look desperately for a loop hole in the law. You've done a great job of capturing this little scene we have probably all participated in. Mom always had the last word, however. :)

Comment from Craigitar
Cute story! Somehow I don't think that little technicality will get him out of trouble. Well written easy read that pulls the reader in right away, propels them through to the humorous end. Well done and luck with the contest!

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Janet. I believe I was caught in a similar situation about 60+ years ago. It was not vegetables, it was black board erasers. :) That's a funny story and a great entry for the contest. GOOD luck.

Ha, Ha! I had a son like that, too. This is a really cute story and well told. I enjoyed reminiscing as I read it. I think this is a great entry for the flash fiction contest. Good luck!

I enjoyed your contest entry. You told an great little story. The dialogue carries this one. I like that Jimmy confessed and even like his answer better. I bet the adults were secretly laughing. Hopefully, he only got an afternoon of detention. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Bichon
This was a very fun flash fiction! It had a very strong childlike innocence to it, which was a lot of fun to read! Hopefully Jimmy didn't get into too much trouble!
