Laura, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep trolling through the challenge threads and see what else the muse comes up with.
Virginia, thank you for the detailed feedback. It's always encouraging when readers have exactly the reaction you were hoping for. And thanks for the proofreading catch.
My son must be okay, since he tried to argue that he was well enough to go to the McDonald's Playland last night. Sadly, if you don't go to school, you can't go to McDonald's either. In any case, he's back in school this morning. :-)
