Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I am positive I know who wrote this, and I almost did not give you the six because you mentioned not to talk to a woman named Karen. How rude to indicate that I might argue you into submission, or talk you to death. That I might somehow cause you disquiet by pointing out the occasional error on your part. That I might go on and on just to hear myself think. That I might be long-winded perhaps. How ridiculous. As if....... :-)

Yes , I know you put it in for the giggles. I love being mentioned. I am trying to overcome all my humbleness.
Good luck with the voting.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Teddy is not as daft as he sounds is he? This was quite an epic read, love the clever dialogue and substitute words that made me howl with laughter. A great story and a worthy winner for the contest, you earned six stars and my vote, a clever witty story and I was entertained, love Dolly x x x

Thank you, Miss Dolly! I appreciate your vote, but I appreciate your wonderful comments much more. You are so kind!
Comment from jim vecchio
My alignment...I mean assignment...was almost the same as yours-a murder mystery, robber deck...I mean rubber duck, and/or paws settling...I mean, porcelain dog. As you can tell, I loved your moldy pops...I mean, malaprops. This story reminded me of a contemporary, somewhat twisted, parody of a Charlie Chan movie (I'm a Chan fan!) It was quite interesting because you decided the mystery was the most important part and I thought that was secondary and the dog and duck were the true stars. Best wishes in the contest!-Oh, yes, I guessed it!

Thanks, Jim! Yes, they only had to be intrinsic. I actually really went for comedy amidst the other ruckus.
You must have picked up on Teddy?s love of smoothies (blender). Or his outburst comments were actually mocking the action, his mother, and even relaying where his ducky was.
Loved you honey review. Oops, I meant funny!

Please write more of this calibre. I look forward to reading your work.

Wow ! I never suspected the ending twist !
Very good story, with a little bit of everything : suspense, humour and twists.
Thank you for sharing your text and good luck for the contest.

Thank. This is my favorite all time contest. Very challenging! There were subtle clues that Teddy was the killer like his outbursts and love of smoothies. Ha!

Ha, ha, ha you made me laugh:""Ignore him, good Captain. "He has regrets."
"Tourette's, Uncle," Charlemagne corrected the man.
"Exactly. Potty mouth eruptions and such. The last fellow coming". what is this death on the Nile and Titanic. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.
