In similar situations I suffer from diarrhea of the mouth, and sometimes it is intricately laced with sarcasm and venom. I can't help it. I think you handled yourself with dignity and grace, and such restraint. The urge to pop those girls in the nose must have been too much. Nice story.

That was a good story. I enjoyed the whole thing. No lags in the storyline. I was spellbound right away.

You have a great sense of humor, showing in the story's ending, and also in your language throughout the story.

I thought this was an excellent story. It kept my interest throughout it and was very enjoyable. I liked the humorous ending when it sounded like something even worse was going to happen. Excellent job!

    Well, it was pretty bad - mortifying is more like it. I kept thinking that all of my high school students were going to see my picture on the front page of our local paper - with the earrings still attached! Thank you for your wonderful review. . . diane

Very cute and humorous. I got a big kick out of it and a lot of laughs. A great read, and I loved the ending. The story had great imagery. I could just see those earrings dangling from her butt. LOL! All the best, Jeanne

The third time I've read this delightful story, Mrs KT, it grows warmer with each reading. Thank God for little old ladies. Structure, dialogue, characterizations, setting (particularly setting), excel in this expertly narrated story. "Par," for Mrs KT, translates as, "professional." D.

Hi Mrs KT,

So nice to make your acquaintance.

I love your style of writing. Very breezy. Love the asides!

...merchandizing debacle...loved that one! 'An amaretto sour..'?? by that time, I'd have been looking for an iced tea of the Long Island variety!

Doesn't stuff like that just jerk your chain? I know that shoplifting is a holiday sport, and that they don't 'look' any different than us normal folks, but still! A little discernment might be in order.

And yes, I take it 'personal' alright! Hey, thanks for the chuckles.

Gayle
