Submitted to Contest #281

I’ll have you know; I wasn’t cheap. I was displayed in a glass cabinet beside expensive jewellery in an upmarket store.

Submitted to Contest #139

                    Mom Won’t Let Me Play On Birch Street      “Grow up, John! It’s not who’s taller, it’s who’s older that counts.” Tom is eleven, Tom gets to tell us what to do because me and John are still ten. I’ll be eleven next week, so I’m nearly the same age as Tom. John just marked all our heights on the door frame, to prove he’s the tallest. John’s the youngest, he won’t be eleven ‘till after Summer. We’ve be...
