You know how to make even this little sour puss face smile, Lady Katharine -- thank you for that!!!
And I am so sorry I'm so far behind! I apologize for this 'more cut/paste than personal response', but if I don't do something to try to get my 'head above water' I never will!! ;) :) This online education thing is going to make me crazy! :) But I've only got two more weeks worth of prep (I'm operating about 2 weeks ahead in my preps: YouTube, Assignments, Resources, Etc -- yes! I'm on YouTube! lol!) to be done for the school year and then I'll just have to keep up with their weekly submittals/grading/returning.... but UGH!! ;) Thanx for your patience while I 'get there' -- take care of you and COME ON MAY 10th!! :) ;) Yvette

well, heavens! I wish you luck (and patience). I think you should think up a reward for yourself when the school year is over - something to look forward to. maybe?
Comment from lance michaels
Good job! Mom and dad should know better than that. But you know sometimes passion is spontaneous, and when it happens, well...
Very cute and enjoyable story.

What's the use of a house if you can't enjoy it... Parents can be weird. My parents had a couch with that fabric plastic wrap.I am sure your story is relatable to many. Nice work :)

Our school district is still trying to figure out what to do. They should have been working on this DURING Spring Break 3 weeks ago. Here it is now into the 3rd week AFTER SB and nobody knows nothin'.

Thanx so much for the wonderful review, Papa -- with so much going on with school (I'm a YouTube sensation... lol!!!) I don't have a whole lotta time, but I can always do a 'shortie' once in a while! ;) Take care out there! ;) Yvette
Comment from Rmocruz
This flash fiction is well written and tastefully suggestive.
Unless dad was extremely well hung, I guess it wasn't considered horseplay. Congratulations on your first place win.
My pleasure to have read.

Oh my goodness, Rich, 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... see? Don't want the students to lose ground (especially my Seniors!!) so we're plowing forward with YouTube and more... 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

Always a pleasure Yvette.
I wish you all the,best.

Congratulations. Another first place. Evidently the parents thought they were secluded when they were not. Back then, privacy in the back yard, was not so private.

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think this is a good entry for the 75 Word Flash writing prompt.
This short story about family rules is well told.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.
