    • Interesting thought. you mean he/she will fade into obscurity if you do not think of it.

    • Powerfully penned, Keith. A write with lots of layers, you’re Captain Hook my friend. I mean that in a good way. Appreciate you.

    • Appreciate the feedback. Thanks Mary.

    • Once again, a great and thought provoking writing, my friend! I agree absolutely that it is a waste of time to worship revengeful and judgmental God. It only supports the authorities in power who benefit from the fear and insecurity of the masses.
      Personally, I believe that there is an immeasurable and intelligent energy behind of all of creation which doesn’t care about so called sins or acts of veneration. As we are born with a thinking mind, we are challenged to decide whether to create or to destroy.
      A powerful piece,hats off!

    • Grandma knew exactly what to do with us. 6 of us & she never lost her temper. Good memories…Thank you, girl

    • hello beautiful Willow this was a twist I didn’t know where you were going it’s very clever and relateable I had to clean my dad’s grandfather clock when naughty 💕

      • I hated getting in trouble. It was usually my cousin & her brother. She was ornery as hell too, would try to hug him when he was so pissed. Grandma had to leave the room to hide her giggles. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Amazing storytelling my friend, I can relate. Not that I got in trouble a lot, but when I did, not a fun time by any means of the imagination. Excellent work, as always. Appreciate you.

      • Always seemed like disappointing grandma was worse than the punishment itself. So I did my level best to not get in trouble much. Not with grandma, at any rate. 😂 Thank you, my friend

    • I love “old timey” pieces. It brings back the good ol days, even if we didn’t know that they were, then. I would’ve preferred the chair over the usual ass whuppin.
      But eh, I survived.
      It’s always interesting to me how others lived and dealt with their own upbringings. This was a wonderful story indeed. I raised my kids on “time out” instead of spankings, as your story reflects. It’s a better choice.
      Very entertaining write, Willow. Bravo.

      • Don’t get too cozy in the “old timey” corner. I’m all over the map these days. Who knows where it will take me next?

        Yeah, my girl was raised on time out too. Little rascal knew exactly when she was about to land there too. Look me right in the eye & say “I go to time out now?” Good kid…that girl gave me side aches holding in the laughter.

        Thank you for the visit. Good to see you roaming the new halls

    • It’s good to see YOU here, too.

    • This is good. The way you opened it and then drove your message home. Nice xoxo

    • Thanks Fia….some days for whatever strange reason seem more difficult than others but you learn over time that it will pass…..I’m good by the way.💋

    • LOL great ending, Peter. There’s definitely a lesson in this and you detail it perfectly. Thanks for reminding us each day, and each deed counts.

    • This is such a solid message. And that ending…fantastic landing!

    • Thanks Mary……you’re on my heroes list.
      💋

    • The number of times I wake up in the morning and complain about how I don’t want to do whatever thing it is I have to do that day. This reminded me so much of that. It’s all about the choices we make every day, at least to control the things we can control.
      And the twist at the end… really wraps it up in an interesting way.
