Hahahaha! Yes, very cute and well told story in only fifty words did give me a real laugh. One is enough! LOL! And I really did think it referred to a child at first - cute twist! Well done!

Thanx for the read and review, kathleen - I had a little fun with it ... always a little truth woven into these short ones, but fun all the same! :) ;) You have a wonderful week ahead! :) :)

Really cool flash on boys and their toys. Nice baiting of the reader with a hook of potential romance or love only to discover it was all about a boat. Talk about throwing water on his hopes and dreams.

I am laughing... the promise that I'll take care of it, I'll wash it, etc. I see right through that promise in our household! LOL! This is so good! Your second paragraph is so vivid and descriptive... I love it! Great response to the prompt and entry into this contest!

I think this an interesting story for the Guilt Flash Fiction writing prompt.
I assume that 'He' is a little boy.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.

Hi Sharon,

This is a solid flash fiction for the contest
With excellent description and the little twist in the end
Of course, the picture gives it away.
One boat should be enough for him, anyway. No guilt
Well done
Good luck in the contest
