Don't you just love it, the human propensity to be tempted starts at a very early age, Adam and Eve kicked it off, somewhere in the mists and haziness of time, and kids quite happily carry it on, well done, blessings Roy

    Yes, this young couple seem to be learning the "art" of tempting and responding. Many thanks for sharing and praising my story, Roy.

Excellent interpretation of a Norman Rockwell painting. Ingenious way to accomplish what you desired. Hand counted 100 words so that contest requirement met. Well done?

Spot-on at 100 words. This charming flash may well be a winner. You nailed it--spunky, sly Peggy and "yourself" cast as a hopeful suitor. Delightful story.

I love this short story and the Norman Rockwell artwork you added to it. It has a lot of humor and I do like to laugh. I see this is for the 100-word contest and it should do very well. Best of luck in the voteting.

LOL, what a hoot! I love this entry for the contest, good luck. Of course, in today's political environment, the young man would be arrested for assault (even though she did the kissing) and the me-too movement would have labeled him for life. But all that aside, Good Job.

Everyone knows chocolate is the way to a woman's heart! More men would be wise to learn this lesson! LOL! Great story for the depiction of the artwork. I think you would have made Norman proud!

    It's funny how I must relearn that lesson every year about this time as I approach my wife's birthday. Many thanks, blondie560, for praising my interpretation of Rockwell's painting and those six bright stars.
