Elizabeth,
I love your stories from your childhood. It would seem that you did not have to go far for entertainment as your neighbors provided lots of "live" entertainment for everyone's purview. Yes, Greg knew he could play ball when his mom was otherwise occupied. Good for him!

I had a blast with this--so pleased you got a chuckle! Cheers. LIZ
This is fictionalized--per classification--The part about the lawnmower and the paddle was true!

I love the humor of this story. You've developed the characters nicely for the reader. Mom is a bit overprotective, so I guess she got some just desserts. Greg received the worst end of the deal. Thanks for sharing. Carol

Cute story. It's funny what we have stored in the cobwebs of our brains.
Comment from Frank Jauregui
Blessings Elizabeth, I really enjoyed reading this story about this oddly, color-coordinated but socially uncoordinated family. I remember one of our neighbors chasing her young daughter around the yard as we all watched from inside the school bus waiting for her to board. I never knew what she did but she managed to out run her mom, jumped in the bus, and the doors closed behind her as the bus driver took off just in time! Needless to say, the "chankla" was probably waiting for her at home when she returned from school.

Greg was certainly a naughty boy. I supposed he prepared himself for what would follow his "premeditated" antics.
An enticing story that had me smiling throughout. There was a nice flow to it and you developed your characters, especially Greg, exceptionally well.

Having known several 'helicopter moms' during my season of being a mom myself, I can relate to your well written and entertaining story. What a way to 'outwit' Mrs. Gardener! Great job!

A humerous story that made me chuckle.
The title is very well chosen in that it reinforces the theme and tone of the poem very effectively.
The overall presentation is engaging and entertaining.
Nicely done.

A nice little prank here and I think you penned the comic scene of the lady careening around on the riding lawnmower very well. Also the part where she goes after him with the ping pong paddle. Nice job with the personality in the writing. estory
