Come on this is funny. Sounds like things that happened to me. Does she still paint willy-nilly?
Sounds like a household with a lot of fun and love in it. We have been lucky with our childhood. Good writing.''Karen

    Actually, this happened years ago. Mom and Dad have passed on, but we still will talk about the incident sometimes at family gatherings.
    Thanks for the read and feedback.

    So many weird things have happened to me, mostly funny, that long after I am gone stories will still be told. enjoy the remembrances. Karen

An hilarious story, although perhaps some of the language is a bit tough for kids. Still, so funny and so cleverly written, and even better when you realise it's true!

    Pleased you enjoyed the true story. But in the end, my dad too laughed. His quote was, "When you have to go, you have to go."

This poem, Stuck, regales the saga of the stuck tush on the painted pot. These are some of the many stories which keep dads and moms from believing they are above reproach. Funny.

Funny and touching, you certainly stirred the emotions. Any poem that can move me that much gets a thumbs up from me. Thank you for setting my day off on a positive note. I will be reflecting on your poem throughout the day.

This is an amusing story but I think your Dad probably did not enjoy it much either then or later. Having said that you have fulfilled some of the requirements of the contest, ie five stanzas, but it also mentions a rhyming pattern and I do not see one in your poem. I would check with the organiser of the contest before the cut-off date to make sure that they definitely wanted rhyming as, if so, you may be able to change your poem in time.

    Hey, thanks for the warning. I guess I have a problem with reading the rules.
