I've read all the entries for this contest, and none of them have caught me out quite like this one.

An enjoyable read that deserves to do well. Best wishes with the contest.

Excellent! A truly funny story, told all in dialogue. I know this isn't easy to do. You did an outstanding job. The little surprise at the end was just perfect. Hahaha!

Great dialogue that carries the story
along nicely. I hope this isn't a true
story. Imagine a guy hitting on his
own mother. The writing is very well
done and very creative. Nothing to
correct. Nice job. Good luck in the
comp.

Oh my God. What a cringeworthy scenario to paint here.

You did excellently to set the scene and tell the story with just dialogue, and I could completely empathise with the characters. No spag to report either.

LOL! I'm having so much fun reviewing these dialogues, I can't believe what a fabulous job you've done. This is great. Son hits on mother at bar. Yes, that is very embarassing.

Best of luck in the contest.

This is a very funny, well written entry to the dialogue only contest. At first, I thought it was going to be a man in drag -- but mom is even funnier. Well done.

    Hi Dustman. Thank you for your kind review and generous rating. I am pleased you enjoyed! It is amazing how many thought it would be a mab in drag - that's why it isn't - too obvious! Warmest regards, Marijke

Hahaha, never saw that coming for one moment! There have been several mistaken identity tales, but this one really takes the biscuit! Loved it.
Clear, convincing, no spags, easy to read. I have a few to go, but you are topping my poll so far. And you managed to have nothing but dialogue, which not all the entries have done.
Big round of applause to Marijke!
Sally
