There would most likely be a reference made to how another character disapproved, etc.I was just teasing Tomoko for not catching it. :)EmmaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674416956252503821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980586722920162761.post-46661062735504813522011-04-27T14:30:53.133-07:002011-04-27T14:30:53.133-07:00uh, just 'cause it's 1964 doesn't mean...uh, just 'cause it's 1964 doesn't mean anything. have you read fried green tomatoes? i rest my case.Ruthykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906507182384365998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980586722920162761.post-40699508984624346992011-04-26T22:41:44.955-07:002011-04-26T22:41:44.955-07:00"Kanaboke" - Thanks for catching that!

I went back and changed it!<br /><br />"Pinkelephant" - when Sunny said she loved Beau Brown hopefully would have cleared that up. Especially since it was 1964 :)<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback you guys!EmmaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674416956252503821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980586722920162761.post-65939732056588527462011-04-26T22:24:16.690-07:002011-04-26T22:24:16.690-07:00My goodness, you had me live in this story for a f...My goodness, you had me live in this story for a few hours after I read it. I visualized it so well that I couldn't get out! You described everything in detail so it wasn't hard to picturize it in my mind. I don't know why I had Sunny as a boy somehow until Harmony came and said "baby girl" though... lol. And yes, I was confused with the same thing as Kanaboke said. <br />I can see this on the Hallmark channel... gotta submit it Em!!! Well done!pinkelephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268670235298001070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980586722920162761.post-40387137443018937162011-04-26T08:31:25.044-07:002011-04-26T08:31:25.044-07:00wowie!

The characters were well developed and very real! My only confusion was when Sunny had said her prayers and asked for a Daddy more like Mr. Dupre and not like Delmar Tate..had she met Mr. Dupre before the trial then? I wasn't clear on that. Other than that, another great short story!!!!kanabokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585672400405334899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980586722920162761.post-24247619385440510112011-04-26T07:58:27.580-07:002011-04-26T07:58:27.580-07:00yeah, that was a good one. i really liked it even...yeah, that was a good one. i really liked it even though it was sad. i love how beau gave her the bb gun, but that was all. they didn't even think to tell anybody else about it, just like any other normal 12 year olds wouldn't. very, very good, aside from the fact that Sunny's grammar is atrocious, but it fits the story, whatever.Ruthykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906507182384365998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980586722920162761.post-47159918033565281702011-04-26T06:18:43.114-07:002011-04-26T06:18:43.114-07:00Absolutely loved the ending.
