Perhaps the humor makes a moral more palatable. You stated this piece was an entry in the Humorous Short Story Contest. Congratulations for your 3rd place finish. I don't remember that contest; must have missed it. Since you didn't provide a link, I wonder if it still exists. I was curious and looked up your phrase "chou chou". It's a French term signifying a "teacher's pet", thus a term of endearment. I enjoy being pushed, and learning something new. Jean epitomizes the hopes of men as temptation rears its ugly head. Will he pass or fail that test? One always hopes for the former. Of course, he passes ... although perhaps not for the reason one may think. Certainly he sends the spirit on her way properly. And then he reveals a secondary consideration. I maintain that whatever his reasoning, Jean chose wisely. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Truth is, Mademoiselle scared me s***less. ![]() ![]()
