The moon filtered through the starless clouded sky.
She could see tiny white lights shining on the patio. By midnight, they’d be drunk.
It was the perfect night to go.
Silk stockings stretched over her shapely legs and thighs. A black leather skirt accented her curvaceous hips. The spiky heels, she’d picked up at a yard sale, completed her outfit. She felt as fiery as a hot chili pepper.
A car pulled up beside her.
“Looking for some fun?”
“No …” “I’m near my destination.”
“Think so?”
“I’ve got other plans for you, cupcake.”
Tearfully, “I’m grounded. Right Mom?”

Teens do try to push the envelop. I have 3 grown daughter and know how much work it can be.
Glad it gave you a double-take … pow … LOL. Thank you, Dale.

I watched my 3 daughters like a detective. They hated me. I told them … Good. You’ll thank me later or you’ll do what you want when you have your own apartment. I never thought I’d be strict until I had 3 young beautiful teens. Guys camped out at my house to just see them. 😳
They’re all suceessful young woman today. My motto, “I’m not your friend, I’m your mother.” Perhaps, we need more of that and less time outs.
Gracias por 5 out of 5 fake I’D.’s This made a bit of their hate go away. Hasta la proxima …

My eldest, 49, has her own design business. She works with builders and private customers. Her decorative eye is masterful.
My middle daughter, 36, works for an insurance agency. Previously, she worked at a doctors’ office doing billing.
My youngest, 39, was a model for awhile. She’s a very writer but uses her writing skills for grants, scholarships and school thesis. She wrote a poem for her parents for Valentine’s Day which I still treasure. She just graduated from the University of Albany with her Masters in Social Psychology in May. Taking her licensing exam in July to work in that field. Thanks for asking. I’m very proud of them.

Delightful. The third paragraph is gorgeous!
(“Tearfully.” “I’m grounded.” “Right Mom?” this could be reworked to Tearfully, “I’m grounded. Right, Mom?” Otherwise, it’s a bit jumpy and ‘tearfully’ doesn’t need quotation marks. Hope this comment doesn’t offend.)

Thank you very, very much Alicia. No, I’m not offended at all. I want to have constructive critiques. It’s the best way to improve writing. 👍🏻😊
I’ll make the changes. I struggled with those last 3 lines. My head was spinning from changeing them so much. In the end, I opted for the way it came out. ‘Tearfully’ wasn’t the word I had intended to use but I wanted to show fear without the word fear. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I’m off to make the changes. Thank you again … 😍
