I think I would have remembered this! (Then again, I searched way back and didn't find notifications of your writing in my queue....)
"How could you see what shoes she wore?
She gave me a lift.
She would have given me one, too."
Now that is FUNNY!
(Am I allowed to say that being of the female persuasion and all? -- In fact, am I allowed to claim a specific gender without the thought police arresting me?)
Ah, I digress...

Yes, you can multiple times for as a member in good standing We demented-types can say whatever we please, and do so while wearing our arms tied behind us. :-O

Hah! Good to know! I'll have my (straight) jacket pressed!
Comment from Ric Myworld
Yes, sir, I do believe that if they cut the top of our heads off, I meant your head off, there would be little kitties running everywhere. And I'm not talking about the feline kind. Thanks for sharing.

Huh??????? Explain. Cats? Hmm. Bats, I could understand, like in a belfry. Whatever, I'm cool with it.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Dialogue Only Writing Contest. If her parents heard your comment about giving you a lift they wouldn't have let her pick you up to sit with them in the back seat. Obviously demented. It sounds like the dialogue was with your son but the picture is of a girl, so I am confused now. Maybe she is lesbionic. Please confer. Nice writing.

I gave no thought to the back seat , or her parents. I wasn't thinking with my big head. As for dad... he'll have to negotiate with you on what he said.
Comment from GWHARGIS
Spoke like a real father. Lol. I enjoyed your dialogue only entry. Each voice was distinct and different. The son dealing with some lightly confusing feelings and the father apparently living vicariously through the son. You even managed to bring the girl to life. Great job. Gretchen

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
As a grownup woman, I wonder at what incredible patience your wife must have. She must also have a great sense of humor. I think I would be swatting your head with a newspaper by now. SUNDAY's!
Have a good weekend. Karen

After 45 years the best she has left is to roll her eyes, and grin. My thinking about, you know, is better than me pawing at her, I think she thinks. We're both copasetic with the idere.

You are a caution. :-)
Comment from BethShelby
Yes, you did release this story before unless I am completely physic and dreamed the whole thing before you wrote it. Don't count that out. It has happened before. My son would say it is the Mandela effect and it happen and parallel universe.

Julie found it when it was titled An Old Man's Mind 3/11. I searched my hard copies (vol 9) begun in Jan and did not see this piece, so if nothing comes from this but my printing and installing it to my annals, I ask forgiveness. I did change the format with the bold and plain print, I think.
Comment from Julie Helms
It's called "An Old Man's Mind" posted March 11
I don't know if I commented on it back then, but it's well done. Funny play on words (which have changed over time--like riding her mustang).
PLUS we got to see a picture of the Demented Tom who is actually quite striking!

Thanks I felt I did, but maybe it went out ala carte and not in the challenge for the contest had FANSTORY where my title would have been. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the review, and more for telling me where and when it was previously. After I write something, I print a hard copy and have 3-ring binders (now of Vol 9) but I could not find it when I searched, so I printed an d updated the date and it now has a place in the annals I created.

I just ran it through a plagiarism checker and google showed me the original. You are very welcome. :-)

A plagiarism checker? Has it a name? That's cool.

Just google FREE plagiarism checker. Some charge. When I used to write for another site, your work was for sale (like $5 each to use it). But people would just take it without paying, so I learned to run my own stuff through a plag. checker to see if it was showing up somewhere else on the web. I found them a few times. One was in an online paranormal magazine and the other was a poem used for ad materials for a B&B. Teachers use them to run kids papers through, too.
