This grandmother is so smart. She proved by her test that this boy really didn't love her grandaughter. I guess the answer surprised both kids and hurt Cheryl.

Now that's a wise grandma and the test was a good one to prove his love and commitment to Cheryl. Great job in jumping right into the plot with the dialogue. Congratulations on your second place win!!

Kudos on your second place with this well written tale. You have all the elements of storytelling. The story was interesting and lively and yes, it projected a serious life lesson.

My real life name is Cheryl so that's another reason for my enjoyment of this post!

Stay safe healthy and blessed

Julia

This is an excellent entry for the flash fiction contest. It tells a story and offers good advice without being preachy. It is well written with no errors.

Grandmas are gifts from heaven and have so much wisdom (with love) to pass on. Love the bold but most accurate observation from G'Ma:

"Baby, after seventy years, I've learned most men don't love nothing more than what's between their legs..."

You have captured one perfect scenario in your short story and love the fact that young Cheryl was able to acknowledge how right her G'Ma was.

Nicely done!

This story is really personal but it is also the truth. Sad to say that sexual desires do play an important role in one's life but if the parties involved have respect for one another, each will consider the consequences.
