Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hahaha I've done things like that when I was little. I like the presentation, Norman Rockwell was so good at capturing a moment in time... I love it.
Excellent entry for the 50 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt contest.
You kept it short as you were supposed to and very comprehensive. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

A great way to begin summer vacation - being photographed in the buff for social media:-)
A humorous story for this contest. Love the Rockwell picture with it.

Comment from JSD
Excellent. Amusing and engaging tale that fits the prompt and stuffs so much excitement into so few words. The shock and awe of the last line are perfect. Good luck!

Comment from Ben Colder
This really happened when I was a boy. The Glover girls were bad about it. We boys thought our private swimming hole was Private. Wrong. I like your short story. Good one.

Ha ha ha, this is a fun post, very funny and I enjoyed the humour! I am, however concerned about the (No Swimming Sign), perhaps this is about safety! I was entertained here, love Dolly x

Comment from Paul Manton
Well, this is a riot! very funny - every boys nightmare!
To make such a good story in 50 words takes real skill.
Great use of dialogue - sounds really authentic.
You set the scene and the tone perfectly; I was there as you tore past, and I definitely saw the girls in your class taking pictures, waving your clothes in the air and laughing riotously.
Great job.
Paul

Comment from jim vecchio
Funny, though, being boys, they might have said, "without clothes", rather than "sans". Unless they were on their way to a "sans pants" party, but I don't know about things like that!
Also, Norman Rockwell is always a pleasure to see!

Norman Rockwell paintings sometimes say what I wish I could in my writings.
