Yeah... this one was a blending of fact and fiction -- those memories are so wonderful, aren't they? :) I apologize for being so far behind!! Was a crazy week and I have all the boys home this weekend (HOORAY!!).... I'm attempting to get caught up while they're outside working on cars!! Don't know how far I'll get, but we'll see!! ;) :) Take care .. Yvette :)
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was lovely! And a well deserved win, Yvette, how come I missed it? I love what the little boy in the story did for his sad mummy. Bless his heart, I'm sure it did put a smile on her face. Congratulations, my friend! :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Ogden
Yvette wins again! Congratulations for a job well done!
(I don't remember if I already told you this. My story somehow was put in the wrong contest, and was disqualified when Tom couldn't correct the problem.)
Since mine wasn't in it, I'm glad you are the winner!
Hugs,
Don

You are too fun, Don -- thanx for this wonderful morning sunshine.... there's no real sunshine here/won't be til Friday at the earliest! I'm thinking we might just 'wash away' down here - LOL! ;) And I'll take your 'gladness' even if it is conditional... (wink, wink)! ;) Big hug back! Yvette

You're welcome, Yvette. I don't even know where 'here' is, you know. That doesn't mean I don't know where here is. It sounds strange, but 'here' is there. It's raining here, too. So maybe 'here' is here and there at the same time. (We might bump into each other in the supermarket, and not even know. It's a small world.)

LOL!! Little bitty town in West Central Alabama called Grant... :) ;) I'm thinking we might not be on the map much longer if it keeps raining this way... we'll wash right into Guntersville Lake!! ;)
-
Well, I guess that makes a supermarket bumping less likely.
For some reason, I never get to Grant.
You must be uphill from the lake. I hope you don't get any more heavy rainfall! (No winks about it!)
xoxo
Don
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
That is precious and very sweet. The lad thought that his mom was crying because of it raining. What a well thought out way to try to cheer her up. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

I think this is a good entry for the 70 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt.
This short story tells a clear story of a little boy's concern for Mom.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Shirley McLain
Wat a tender loving story your 70 words told. When a child recognizes that a parent needs something desperately and tries to fix it, it speaks volumes about the situation. Great job. Shirley

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. This is a very creative flash fiction about a son who wants to make his mother happier than she is. The story is interesting, amusing, and touching. Good luck in the contest.
