Boudoir Bavardage

fuelled elaborate lie with friends of ventures
                       with boy I barely knew
 




All girls' school... Poor deprived fourteen year olds we were! Group of girls hung vicariously on my riveting ridiculous stories.  I think I gained status by telling fanciful fibs.... Blessed, these simple times before social media mayhem ....!

Sigrid, I suspected you went to an all girls school - don't know why? Me too! Your monoku brings back memories of sleepovers and tall tales! Congratulations on your first place win! So fun!

Oh wow!.. Yeah, Hobart oddly has a state (public) single gender school. Where do you live, Sam?

Congratulations Sigrid on your win. Impressive entry. With regard to my contest submission I was usually quite good at school. Grade C would be quite poor for someone capable of much higher marks. I’m duty bound to share that with you. We both value honesty as a trait. Back to your work, the narrative is second to none Howard

That's really cool that you're not. I barely used it, started to look at it too much. Shut down account last month. There's such a good community here, likeminded folk. Who needs FB!?
