Awesome story! I was enthralled enough that I will admit you really deserve to win. Thank you for the thrill and the education. I am watching for whatever else comes from your corner of the world, wherever that is.

Yeah...You are a writer of a higher caliber. For, I could tell, as
soon as I start reading the chapter, that you were seasoned.
Nevertheless, since it's all about networking in unity, I will be
looking forward to reading more. Stay Connected

This is a short, fast moving and humorous story, that is also very creative fiction. I can't imagine a father talking to his twelve year old son the way the father did in this story, but the boy enjoyed it and asked questions.

This is laugh out loud material: "You married her, moved to the states, and had me, right?"

"Heck no. I met your mama in a bar." Best wishes in the contest.

My,my my, that was fine twist on a shaggy dog-type story. I loved it. It carried the same tone throughout with out a missed beat. Even the illustration was a misdirection. Nice.

Listen, I spent 18 months in Okinawa during the early 60s and I can tell you that sex often took place between American GIs and native women just that easy. Of course most of the sex was purchased from prostitutes, but not all. I had many pleasing encounters by being in the right place at the right time, and also being in the right frame of mind.

    Yes, I immersed myself so much into the culture that I was on more than a few occasions, accused of going native.

It's too bad this one didn't make it into one of the family contests, but I suppose it might DQd by the usual rules. Great story. I thought the funniest part was paragraph 4. "...but whatever..." Definitely sounds like my dad.

You have a couple fragmented sentences starting here just FYI: => make a long story short. <= Maybe you did it deliberately just to break up the quoted sentence.

The punchline at the end works pretty well too. Thanks for the read.
