Congrats on placing in the contest - well deserved.

Thank you so much, Deb.

Yes, lol, I guess the actors performance really did make the parrot switch from a doubter to a fawning fan.

Take care.

Lord in a jam jar? lol. I didn't even look as I read, but there has to be a story behind tHAT! lol

Excellent

A very clever story. Telling a story with only 80 words is very difficult. This was well done. Although Emily having a prop gun in her purse is very unlikely it fit into your story very well. Thanks for sharing.

You are lucky that I had a six. This is hilarious and you have confirmed what I already knew. You're a little warped -- in a good way. :-) you gave me a good chuckle during these days when they are far and few between.
