Seems to me the final authority on word count should be the site's advanced editor. Dialect can be tricky, I guess. Typical underaged feminist at work. An excellent shortshort story.

Yeah, gotta watch out for those if-I-had-a-bra-I'd-burn-it types.

Thanks for the great review.

Hell hath no fury like a little girl left out of things and woe betide the boy who has not learned that early for a woman's fury at being scorned can be fatal. So so,cute so real I loved it

Author: a very cute story which gave me the giggles. Sister Sally proved how much smarter was she than her brother. Great surprise ending! See, I'm still giggling . . . livelylinda

This is really a very cute story and who can not help but cheer for the girl who hauls the ladder away. However...has anyone commented that the word aloud in the title is misspelt? Should be ALLOWED.

Yep, I think Sally had something to say about the spelling... :O)

Thanks for the nice review.

I loved this, particularly the clever punch-line at the end. I thought it was also clever to save on your hundred words by letting the picture help to tell the story. It was just a shame that the obviously-rope ladder in the picture failed to support the ending. Not a lot you could do about that, I guess.

A very good story with only a hundred words. The ending is such an expected twist. That will really teach them boys to mess with Sally. A wonderful entry for the contest, and the best of luck.

Good job and congratulations! i think you are going to win the contest, you are way ahead of the other contenders (including me). I like theme, it flows well, it is easy to read, the format is adorable-like the picture.

Ah, the fat lady wasn't even on stage when you wrote this. Big flurry of late voting pushed a couple of entries right up to the top, to my dismay. I've never won a contest for a prose piece before - maybe next time.

I think that the boys need to share the tree house with the girls...oops, no ladder. Who is laughing now? Maybe, they can write stories and the girls can be their editors. The boys have an superior - we only mood. We all need each other. So much to do this summer. Who's going to bring them lunch? Great story and funny too...ooops! flylikeaneagle

Hell hath no fury, huh?
Well, if those boys were smart, they'd have a rope tucked away up there in that tree house somewhere...just for emergencies, you understand. I know we did.
Cute story.
Good luck. ~Dean

Thanks, Dean.

They may have had a rope, but I certainly didn't want it making an appearance in my story!
