I remember those days. (from the parenting end) They all worked out good, though. Congratulations on placing in Brian Strand's April Footle contest contest.

Wow. A simple truth in a footle. It always seems to happen just at the time there parents' need them the most. It's a hiding of convenience almost. Congratulations on your Honorable Mention.

Hi,Lolita! How are you doing? I love your footle," A teen unseen ". These words can tell a real story about any teen from any writer's prospective. An amazing insight and a thoughtful expression. Thanks for your comment on my poetry. The best of luck in the contest. Warm Regards, Andrew.
