'Why Dad's Shoes?' is a chapter that proposes that question very well. I like James's effective conversations about it with both Charlie and his mom. I look forward to a possible solution in the next chapter. Marie

This work has reached the exceptional level

Wow!!! is this a case of the spell binding action that causes the truth to be shown right out in the open????My
this I still say should be a movie on the Big Screen as this is so very well written that it literally pulls at your
emotions by placing you right in the center of everything
going on in it....What a truly enjoyable read this was my friend....Cranial Thinker

Hi Valerie:)
Grandmother's actions just get more curious with each new activity. Are shoes a part of some Romani curse or superstition? I doubt that Grandmother thinks her actions are strange at all.

I;m ready to find out what her secret plan is. I am out of sixes for another week or two, but as usual, I would give one two you for excellence, if I could.

1. Without waiting, Charlie pushed [passed ==> past] me and headed down the hallway. {Same commo passed/past error.}

2. Figuring out Grandmother was turning out to be far more difficult than any quantum physics class I'd taken. {The human factor in any equation complicates usually something far more than science or mathematics.}

Hi Smurphy
Sorry I'm running so far behind with my reviewing.
I'm on vacation in the USA until the end of August.
Will try to drop in on my laptop from time to time.

Great chapter, Smurph. Reeling with unusual and strange behavior, intrigue and questions that leave me wanting more. I felt for James. Like my highly intelligent son who is not bothered by complex math or music, he nevertheless is stymied by human behavior. Well done, and you keep me wanting more. Linda

No need to email me the posts. I am stll getting them via private message on this site. I just checked and was surprised that I still can. What does that "Are you human mean?" on your posts? This is a great chapter. I am reallyanxious to find out what the deal is. She must have put some kind of spell on Alexandru.

    Where did you see "Are you human?". I have no idea what that refers to. Glad you continue to get the posts. Let me know if you stop getting them.

    It shows up in the box where I rate and review. It says "Are you human?" and gets you to solve a math equation. I did not solve it and it gave me that woman (the one who says your review is too short) and said to back up and solve the equation before it would let me send the review. Maybe it is because I am no a premier member an it thinks I may be a computer or something. It is really odd.

Angela gave wise advice and I liked your playing on the "shoes" scenario and Charlie's sarcasm as a defense mechanism. I now see how you could combine the previous chapter with this one, as you mentioned. You have once again built up the suspense, and we can't wait to hear James' next conversation with Grandmother. -Joan
