Now that is a lovely, lovely story. It seems that you can look at at photo and go full inventive. Nicely done!

Wow, that was cool. I kept waiting for it to go somewhere deeper, feminist maybe, but it didn’t. Really interesting. Do you know the Anderson .Paak song “Put Me Thru?” Your story reminded me of it. My wife and I joke that it’s her song, but if I ever voiced why we say that, it would just be too much.

I loved it. I would be in serious trouble if I had jelly donut fingers. Or at least weigh 400 pounds.

I want to be her beloved Auntie, and you had me at "donut fingers". Raspberry filling, yum!

P. S. Very well crafted story, thank you!

I love this story, Meg, it's so sweet (and I love donuts.) It reminds me a little of a story I wrote called "The Crier" which I'll publish on Ford Knows if I don't get a Yes from the submissions it's on. 🍩🩷
