Great sense of humor! The little boy thinks it's a storm or maybe they are in a cavern, but Grandfather knows, it's the car wash. He looks so smart to the young one.

You are a clever little magician, making the storm go away, now you must be a magician as I've, only very clever grandpas can leave a legacy like that for a little boy, this is beautifully written Barry, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Yes, wisdom comes with age and experience trumps youth. An excellent point and the car wash was a surprise twist at the end of this 80-word flash fiction. This prompt was a well-developed idea and one that provoked a good response from the grandpa to the grandson.
The print size was easy on the eyes and this was entertaining as well as knowledgable information to behold. We all could learn a thing or two from our elders.

Jesse,
Thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed the read. You are correct when you say that we can all learn a thing or two from our elders. I know I learnt quite a bit from my parents and grandparents.
Take care.

Comment from BOO ghost
An 80 word flash fiction contest! This looks like a dandy by first glance. The picture is appealing and appropriate for this prose. Oh, father and son going through an automatic car wash? Years on this earth must count for something? Experience does matter! Well, I wish you luck in this contest. Hopefully, you won't get washed out!

Comment from Cindy Decker 3
Barry, very nice story; I love the surprise ending. I thought it might be a hurricane or other disaster.
I took my dog, Ruby, to the car wash once, and she went ballistic! I couldn't control her and pay attention to the direction signs above. lol. True.
I'm writing this now, so it wasn't quite a tragedy either.
Excellent story, Barry.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Cindy,
Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed the read. Wow, Ruby certainly seems to not like the car wash. Might be a story in a scenario like that.
Take care and have a wonderful day.

This is an extremely well written piece in my opinion.I like the certainty of the grandfather compared to his grandson, as he clearly knows much more than he is letting on.Thank you!

Comment from Bill Schott
This eighty-word flash fiction story, All Awash, has the proper word count and finds the grandfather in the seat of knowledge, with nerves of steel and optimism that is the result of countless journeys through the glopiter-glopiter rain tunnel. Cool tale.

Thanks so much Bill. Glad you obviously liked it. Yes, this grandad does have nerves of steel and knows the glopiter-glopiter so well. Thanks again.
