Wow, this was great Yvette. Even I trembled slightly at my imagined voice of Marge hollering out "Everyone, Eat, Nowwww". You are absolutely correct, a son always knows to listen to their mom's voice. Well done, very much enjoyed, good luck in the contest.

That voice is a skill that moms like to employ as necessary, right, Alie? ;) lol! :) So many friends around here are re-adjusting to family life that we're trying to keep laughing ... had to just pass some smiles along via the pen!! ;) You take care of you out there -- get out and enjoy some fresh air!! ;) Yvette

This one-hundred-fifty-word flash fiction story, That Mom Voice, has the proper word count and finds a combination of current events and a cute family tale that makes the heart feel at ease.

What a good chuckle you're providing here amidst all the tragic news lately. I really enjoyed reading this, Yvette. It should do very well in the Flash Fiction contest. Best wishes always! :-)

Oh my goodness, Janet, you just put a smile on my face amidst all this craziness!! ;) ;) But it has to end soon, yeah? Everything I do has been (is being) converted to online... High School students can't afford to lose ground so we're plowing forward with YouTube and more even when the lower schools are 'encouraging enrichment activities'... but what a hassle!! ;) Just give me a good ole fashion classroom any day!! ;) You take care and I promise we'll be laughing at this some day!! ;) Thank you for your wonderful comments and for those bright, shiny stars!! :) May you find some brightness in the days ahead - take care! ;) Yvette

Great story, Yvonne. Nice twist at the end. This sort of scenario is probably actually happening all over the place right now. Good luck in the contest.

Guess you got the attention of that furniture delivery guy with your mom voice. Shouldn't people from Italy and New York be quarantined? I'd be nervous about letting them in my house. estory

Comment from JudyE
Haha. This is clever flash fiction. It's lucky there was enough food for all those hungry young men. I wish you the best of luck in the competition. I didn't find any spags.

Having six sons, I have used that 'Mom Voice' often in my lifetime! This is a fun Flash Fiction. I'm sure the delivery guy was excited to stay and have one of your meals!
