This is priceless. I have to admit, I didn't see the ending coming. I can just see the grandmother and her friend when the show starts. Laughed out loud. Congrats on the win.

I like the tone and the story that goes with it. Those two little ladies will have the time of their life, I hope. Congratulations in winning the contest.

    Yeah, I bought the ticket for the seat right net to the drama.

Classic! Great twist. I wonder how the ladies are going to deal with 'the theatre'. I couldn't imagine being the grandson and seeing your grandma in the front row. Great story in just a few words.

    Thanks, I agree, the grandson might ruin his 'performance'
    and career, but grandma would survive.

You definitely deserve to have won this contest. I love how you set the scene and introduce your main character and the conflict through dialog. The ending is delightfully ironic as we discover how naive Grandma is. Rod

Ha! Is Grandmother in for a big surprise. Very humorous story in just one hundred words. I enjoyed it very much and good luck in the contest.

I love the picture. I love the story. Grandmother is going to get a shock. She has a front row seat for it. The Chippendale's put on a sexual performance. In the end, I think Grandma will be bragging about Grandsons dancing. Great work.

    Yeah, she probably will be bragging and making excuses for the nudity. I can hear her now, "If you've got it, flaunt it."

Lol. Now that's a surprise for grandma that I'd love to see. This story was smart, funny and entertaining. The picture to go along with it was perfect for the overall theme of the story. Nicely written and good luck with the contest.

    All through the writing, I wanted to be in the seat next to grandma. Thanks.

When the driver looked at the two old women, I had it! They weren't there to see a play, just to eye off some chiselled pecs (and other stuff). Very funny punchline! Clever topic choice, and well written!

    I used to think about the families of the Playboy centrefold and their reaction to their child on display. Kind of the same. Thanks.

To the author of Debut Performance. Now, This is cute. I'm a grandma and my grandson wants to be an actor. I'm old but not that old. I do know about the Chippendales. I have never seen them in a live performance though. Cute ending. Carole

    Can you imagine the nude scenes and how much easier it might be to be naked in front of strangers, rather than family?
