In the absence of any indication of the young boy's age, the mind boggles as to what mischief he could be up to. Pondering the possibilities is likely to keep me occupied all day. Thanks for the distraction from chores!

You made me laugh, which was the point. You followed the rules. It amazes me how much children inspire us. Not even knowing it they make us laugh and smile. Great entry. Good luck in the contest.

Of all the entries for this contest, yours is the one that actually made me laugh! Smiles for the other ones, but laughter for yours. Having kids of my own, I relate so much to this.

    I admit I laughed when my friend told me this story, too. I'm glad you liked it.

This was cute. The child was honest. Even doing wrong. Sneaking food was a no, no. We had our three meals each day. And we had not snacking in between meals. We were given a snack when our parents or grandparents decided to give us one. Today, kids do not know how lucky they are.

This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem for the fun contest.
Perfect give away that something is wrong.
Though eating cookies is something most kids do.
Adults eat the apple and the cookie.
Good luck in the contest.

A very cute poem, and the syllable count is on point. The visual is great for the poem. However, the text is too small. I feel you should enlarge the text, make it a vibrant color from the visual, and center it under the visual.
Typically, kids' writings are large and colorful. The suggestions I made would enhance your poem and make it really look like a piece of writing kids would be attracted to. Good luck in the contest.

    I've been trying to enlarge the text, but it enlarges everything! I highlight everything and then I press control plus. I'll keep trying. Thanks!

    Press it only once. The longer you keep your finger on it, the large things become. It's easy once you get the knack of doing it.

This is a very cute and very well written 5-7-5 poem you have penned in the Just for Fun 5-7-5 contest. You used great imagery and very good words. I can see that little boy now as he says those words. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, teri
