All mothers can relate to this story, especially mothers of little boys. It made me smile. Nice to see your work here at Our Echo. I hope we'll see more of it.

Laughing out loud, Janice. Nice work all about our kids of the 50s and 60s. Let's see more of your stories. Kathe

Boys will be boys, as the ol adage goes! But aren't they absolutely delightful and entertaining when their antics are harmless and amusing?!
Your story made me smile, although had it been my son in all that mischief, maybe I wouldn't be the one grinning.
Blessings,

Janice, this is a wonderful story. Such memories, eh? Your words stirred me about our own sons, and they do keep us with young thoughts. My youngest son, Scott is now 40. Phew, time flies. When I write stories for children, it keeps me young. Keep at it, you're good. Richard LP
