Ha, ha.
Some active imagination without a doubt.
I wonder what you'll you conjure up next.
If I were you I'd keep in touch with that muse.

Yes, Dog! And where on earth did the dog even enter into it! LOL That was the craziest story, and the strangest twist I've ever seen. Completely unexpected, Bill...
Always good for a giggle, aren't you...

I really like this story and the lesson that tells us things are not always as they seem. You certainly cleaned up Gina's story about her day and then, what, you put another twist on it. Good Job, Bill. Nancy:)

This takes some unravelling here Bill, but I liked your sense of humour and your clever choice of characters to make this a naughty scene whatever way you look at it, a fun write, love Dolly x

Lol. What an excellent ending. You led us up the garden path, then provided a humorous twist to remind us not to make assumptions, and the twisted it back again. Well done. A fine story.

Sneaky, sneaky. I am beginning to suspect that you get a particular sense of enjoyment out of shocking people with your unsuspected developments. I am keeping my eyes on you Mister Schott.

Bill,
This story is humorous, and once again, I did not see the end coming.

Your grammar and punctuation are great, of course, you're a retired teacher.

This story is excellent.
Good luck with all your writing.
Blessings,
Cindy

That's quite a transformation, from what could have been mature content to maybe a children's story, I very much like Gina's recollection to what Dick finished with, very well written****kahpot

This could have been a flash fiction contest entry. You always come up with neat surprise endings to your stories. It looks like you're off to a fast start for 2023. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

Great humor in this. Funny the name goes from Dick to Dickie and then Richard. With Richard, it's assumed Dick's story is about a dog, with all the details given. But we're asked to think again. This shows that a story can take different twists and turns, depending on the audience. Great presentation. judi

Thanks, Judi. My siblings called me William, my cousins called me Willy, and my friends call me Bill. My son William is known as Chris, and my grandson William is Liam. I imagine Richard gets the same treatment.
