I made it all the way through this ridiculous piece, and I loved every last word. You made me laugh. You really have a gift for that. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Wow, thank you so much for the awesome review and giant sixer, Jessi. Yeah, I love to try to give people a little chuckle along the way. Life's too short to not laugh through it. I'm glad you liked this silly piece, J. Thank you again.

This was funny. You could have gone on forever, spotting Michael Jackson songs or lyrics in here and there.

Para 6, 6th sentence: (high pitched) should be (high-pitched) hyphen

Very entertaining and I am sure not all that simple to do.

    Lol. Yeah, it's a shame I only had a 600 word limit. Thank you for the great review and for finding the goof, Gary. I really appreciate the stars and help, friend. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Have a great rest of your weekend.

This story, Liberace Museum, is a fun romp with Mom and the ghost of Tito's little brother. The inclusion of all the titles as dialogue was cool and laid out well.

Lol. I loved the part of surprising your mother with such a super birthday present. But I don't know much about Liberace or Michael Jackson but I guessed all the italicized words are actual song titles. That's clever! Best wishes in the contest!

    Oh, I knew the Jackson Five from grade school days. But I didn't really know Michael Jackson's songs after he became really popular, solo. 😊 I live a sheltered existence. Enjoyed your story and I hope you do well in the contest!

    Yep, he was just a young tyke then. He could already steal girls' hearts with his voice being just a kid. Thank you again, Helen.

    Yes, I think I saw TV movie about the Jackson Five and it was so sad what young performers go through in life. Undoubtedly that mess him up...

Hahaha, this is a humorous and well-written entry to the Mind-boggling contest. The text is large enough to be read (However, could be larger for my old eyes.) I loved how you made lines or titles of MJ's songs as answers or questions throughout the text. The visual fits well. You used the wrong word here. It should be "and" not an~an Uber. You have entered a good entry to the contest. I will be voting for this entry. Good luck!

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review and support, Sandra. In that line I was actually meaning, jumped in the driver's car, an Uber and headed...

You are a rabble-rouser. Poking the bear is your strong suit, DragonSkulls!! Nothing but nothing is sacrosanct when you're entering a contest! Very imaginative, plucky, definitely entertaining and amusing. I especially liked the little dig about overnight sleepovers. hahaha. Good luck in the polls.

    Lol. Yeah, that's how I roll. I rarely cave to what's proper and sweet. Just too boring. Ha. Thank you for the great review and good luck wishes, Rache. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

Inventiveness won you the extra star. I did something similarly with Motown some time ago. I don't if I remember where it is. Very well done. Good luck. You could win.

    Hey, Tom, hi. Thank you for the great review and the extra star, my friend. Motown huh? I bet that was a blast. I appreciate the giant 6 and good luck wishes, Tom. Thanks again.

Seeing Michael Jackson's ghost dancing in front of my face would have been mind-boggling. I do like some of his songs. I will never forget when he passed; we were riding a tourist bus.

    I don't really remember where I was at the time. I know it was a shock, that's for sure. Thank you for the great review, Rosemary.

    the news brought sadness, disbelief to the people on the bus.

I don't usually look at these restrictive contests, as censoring writing annoys me so much. But hey, this was you, so I knew it would be a good piece - I wasn't disappointed. Very amusing, with believable touches such as the pleasure you gave your mother. I'll be voting for once. Kate xx

    Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Kate. I'm glad you stopped by, seeing that it was me. There's many on here who would do just the opposite. Lol.

    My mom plays piano herself. I'm not sure if she really ever got into Liberace or not. When I read this to her, she didn't spark up like he might have been one of her idols. I guess I could have asked her. Haha.

    I dearly appreciate the gracious review, Kate. I'm glad you'll be visiting the booth if normally you don't. Have yourself a great rest of your weekend.

Ha ha ha, this is clever, inventive and entertaining and you made me smile, putting Liberace with Michael Jackson is an odd combination but let's face it, both of them are kinda odd. Loved all the lines to the songs and this was a pleasure to read, love Dolly x

    Thank you so much for the great review and giant sixer, Dolly. I couldn't believe it when I found out that his museum really is actually located on Michael's place. I just couldn't resist then. I had to go this crazy route. Haha. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and thank you again.
