This well-written story made me angry at the over indulged child. It is a sign of good writing to draw emotion from the reader and you definitely did that!! I wish you much luck in the contest!!

Each generation appears to have their own outlook on life and their time seems to be at the top of the chart. Parents try to convince themselves that they are aiding in furthering their children's chances and lives and the child thinks of it as "promotion:. A good sit-down chat is most definitely required!! Thanks for your time and comments. Smiles to you!

I love this you have penned for the writing prompt. Thank you for spacing it out and making it large enough to read. I try to do that at times, but I do forget. MS is not always nice to me. You used great descriptive words and the imagery you chose is awesome. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, Teri

Thank you for taking your time to read and comment. I had one person give me 3 stars on a story because he said my bold font and spacing screamed at him so he was unable to read the story. Oh well! It's easier for me to see and you to read....that's good enough. Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoying the contest entry. Smiles to you!

Aaargh! Hmmm. It seems Mom has been snookered into doing a whole lot more than she bargained for. I think she should bring the dog to have lunch with them. Best wishes in the contest!

Great idea! Turner would really start the place buzzing and maybe I would find another story to write and all to enjoy. lol Thanks for reading and commenting. Smiles to you!
Comment from Veronica Grace
A fun quick read that certainly serves as a help and unappreciated scenario. Mothers just can't help themselves, right? And most children can't help taking advantage. I saw nothing to change or correct. Thank you for sharing your story.

Hello, Veronica. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my contest entry. It definitely is more of a give-give-give and they take scenario between parent and child. Appreciate your time. Smiles to you
Comment from LisaMay
You've written a fast-paced story of familiar chaos ensuing from expectations and what actually happens. Who gets landed with the dramas and the dirty dog? Mum. Your dialogue carries the story along realistically.

Comment from Alli Johnston
I would gladly help someone if it meant giving that adorable puppy a bath! I know many people who cannot say no but mother's are definitely some of the most guilty. This is such a cute and fun story, best of luck in the contest:)

Alli - Wasn't he a cute one! I couldn't help but use his picture for the story. I am very quilty of not being able to say NO, but that's part of being a mom I guess. Thanks for reading and enjoying. Smiles to you!

Oh, no poor mother acting like a super women and then dismissed without warning: "Oh, sorry. Change of plans. John canceled. Something came up. Besides, now you can give Turner a bath. Gotta go. Zach and I are having lunch."
"Right!" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

What a series of unfortunate events. People canceled and someone in labor yet they want to get some shooting done in a bar with a poppy? This sounds like movie industry.
Well done and good luck.
