Sandra, what a delightful chapter. I laughed out loud!
Valerie is quite the cunning lady. And I've met many Mrs. Stanstead's in my life; the neighborhood gossip, the town gossip, and the work place gossip. She fits the mold quite well.
I love the way Mrs. Stagnated was referred to as an old crow! lol. In grade school we used to call the nuns old crows. Not within their earshot, of course.
Sandra, I came across some stellar poems and stories today, I'm sorry I used up all my six stars already-/it's only Sunday! Your chapter truly deserves a 6.
Best wishes,
thank you for the great smile,
Best wishes,
Cindy

Hi Sandra, Good Grief...if that girl in the picture...
were one of my siblings...I would sleep with the
door locked...or a weapon next to my bed...if I were her
parents...I would be afraid to piss her off...talk about
if looks could kill...
the girls never guessed the boys would go to the police...but
I would've thought Reggie would have put it together after what
he did to her...it was a good thing the Father found their things
before anyone else did Amazing...think of the secret the girls
would've had to live with...
I think every town or village has a Mrs. Stanstead...someone who
doesn't have a life...so they snoop in other peoples...
I think it would make me mad if my brother...and sisters got away
with everything they'd done wrong...my younger brothers did...they
were Ma and Pa Kettles kids...the rest of us were halves...and step
sister and brothers...
and by the look on this angry child's face...she's still looking
for revenge...I certainly wouldn't want to cross her in a dark ally...
or any other place....I just can't remember as a kids...getting away
with the things I did...well...maybe some...
so lets see just how demonic Valerie is...her mother seems like a
kind person...and so does Trevor's mom...
well my amazing friend...I'm going to watch some TV...sounds like
a story from long ago...things that happen in the past...I know because
I was there...this was a great chapter...I could just see the boys walking
through town...A Hint...try this...what does Valerie have up her sleeve???
well done you...much love forever you...Linda xxoo

I wanted to write the third part for this week, but my head has been all over the place. Perhaps next Sunday.
I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply, my friend. I've not been on here much these last few days. I've a mouth full of ulcers that have come from my new asthma inhaler.
-
I pressed 'save' before I'd finished!! That's what my head it like at the moment.
I did something like this to my youngest uncle, he was two years older than me. We are the best of friends now, and have been for a hundred years! Lol, Thank you my dear friend, for this lovely, fun review. I'm really glad you enjoyed reading the second part. Third part will hopefully be in a few days. Love you loads and loads. :)) Sandra xxxxxx

yea I must say I had done some
pretty scary things to my siblings
as well...
when we in our teens...I remember
crawling into my sisters room one
night...she was sleeping...so I put
my face...face to face with hers...and then I woke her up...she started screaming at me...scared the hail out of me...LOL...
not to worry...I am always pushing the wrong buttons on here...
and you amazing are so very welcome...love you bunches and bunches...xxoo 💖💖💖🤗🥰🙏🌼
-
oh Sandra, when I have reactions to
pretty much anything...my mouth breaks out in this crazy rash...like little bumps...years and years ago my doctor prescribed Nystatin Oral Suspension UPS ...I just kind of rinse my mouth with it...and the bumps go right away...and don't worry about posting every week amazing...it's not healthy to over do...and you reply to me when you feel like it...I know where your at...and as long as it's not in the hospital...no worries...
ask your doctor about what my doctor gives me...I bet it would help you...if I don't use it...those bumps never seen to want to go away...and there painful...
now take care...love you all the way from here to there my amazing friend...xxoo 💕🤗🥰🏃♀️🌼🙏
Comment from BethShelby
This was such a funny story. Poor valerie. She just can't win. She shouldn't feel too bad. It must have been embarrassing for the boy to walk through town practically naked.

There was that side to it, LOL. This came about from a memory of mine, I did something similar to my brother, Kelvin. But I did leave his clothes where he could eventually find them. This story is slightly embellished from that experience. I must ask my brother if he remembers that day. I never owned up to being the one who did it! Thank you, my friend for your lovely thoughts on this chapter, I'm so very pleaed you enjoyed it. Warmest hugs, Sandra xx

I kind of suspected it my be based on a personal memory. It's the sort or thing brothers and sister do. Did he lock you in the toilet?
-
My brother didn't, it was my uncle who tied the doors together, he's only two years older than me. He did get a clip round the ear from his mum, my grandma. We played a lot together, climbing trees, hiding in the farmers haystacks when he was shouting at us. I have loads of fun memories. Some not so fun. Life was so different back then. Mind you, my brother did play many tricks on me! 😊

Sandra.

Hi John, I'm in the same position, I know I'll never catch up, so I try to make sure I've read and reviewed at least one per person. Those who post everyday, and sometimes twice a day, I just can't keep up with.
Yes, we say 'lad' most of the time for a young boy. I didn't think it was just us that said it. I'm learning such a lot on FS :))
Thank you so much for the nice things you said about my story. So far Reggie has managed to come out on top of every mishap, and escaped the clip around the ear, and Valerie isn't pleased about it.
I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one; and you're right, times were much for fun back then. :) Warmes hugs, my friend. Sandra xx
Comment from Ulla
Hi Sandra, this is a lovely continuation to the the and so much in keeping with the time and how they would speak as well. But at least the boys were vindicated. I will be looking out for the next part. Lots of love, Ulla xxx

Thank you, dear Ulla, for the lovely review and the golden sixth star, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Love and hugs, Sandra xx
Comment from alexisleech
I so enjoyed this wonderful continuation. All so believable, but I guess by saying that, I'm showing my age. Nowadays, they would be back home after school, stuck into some game, or with their noses in their phones checking out Tic Tok. I think that's another reason I'm enjoying this so much, it was so different being a child back then. Everyone knew where they stood if they were naughty, and there was always a busybody neighbour lurking somewhere in the background. Bravo, my friend, you have excelled yourself again!

Thank you, dear Alexis. I remember those days as if it was yesterday, they were fun, carefree days. But you had to be careful you weren't caught in any misdomeaner, because in those days, the slipper on your backside was still legal!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this part, thank you for the lovely review and the golden sixth star. Love and hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Thank you for reading this part, I'm really pleased you found it funny, that's what I hoped for. The next part will be a bit different. Thanks, my friend. Warmest hugs, Sandra xx
Comment from Cindy Warren
That sounds like something I might have done to my brother! Also like something he would have done to me given the chance. It's easy to identify with the kids, since we're all former children.

It was something I did to my brother! He still doesn't know it was me. Lol. I suppose after nearly 70 years, I could tell him, he hasn't the strength now to chase after me, which is good because I can't run any more! Thank you so much for reading this story, Cindy, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Warmest hugs, my friend. Sandra xxx
Comment from lyenochka
This was hilarious! And I'm glad that it all worked out well even with the help of the town's busybody. She's better than any social media forum! I would have hoped that these events would cure Valerie of wanting revenge on her own terms. But I'm guessing humans are not that easily convinced...

Lol, Helen, you could be right! Every town/village needs a Mrs Stanstead, there is nothing she doesn't know. I'm so happy you enjoyed this one. The next one is so different. Thanks, dear friend. Warmest hugs, Sandra xxx
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is such a fun post. you have caught the atmosphere of innocence and silliness of that bygone era perfectly. I enjoyed it as much as 'Just William' that I have just re-read for the Nth time (written 100 years ago last year - imagine, that could happen to you, kay
slight edit:
they moved quietly over to where they'd left their clothes > the use of 'they' for 2 different people is klunky, breaking up the flow. I think it would be better to repeat one of 'the girls' or 'the boys had'

Hi Kay, Thank you so much for this lovely, and very helpful review. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.
I had a look at that line, and agreed with you, I played around with it and in the end I've changed it to read like this:
Careful not to be seen, they moved quietly over to where the boys had left their clothes. Then, leaving the shoes, they grabbed the clothes and moved back behind the bushes.
Thanks, my friend. Warm hugs, Sandra xx
