          @Winter-Rose My heart aches for poor Sam. *groan* Poor, poor guy. XD
          That was great. His POV!
          I did catch several thingies, mostly punctuation errors, while I was reading through; if you want me to tell you them.
          I wonder, did the powdered sugar incident have inspiration from real life? It seems like it would. πŸ˜›

            @Winter-Rose poor guy… *hugs him* Seriously though, you did great. First person pov is not one of my strong points and can be very easy to do typically, but you did great with it. Thanks for sharing. πŸ˜€

              @Winter-Rose Zikers, I LOVE these stories!!! And I love Sam in all his clumsy, accident-proness. (Who cares that that’s not a word? 😜 ) Thanks so much for putting these here, I was so excited when I saw them!!
              The ending was awesome. Samantha asking about the glitter was perfect!

                    @emma-flournoy πŸ™‚ It’s amazing you can catch all those little punctuation errors! I’m not a detail oriented person, so I try my best to see them, but (as you can tell ) I often miss ’em. If you have time and would like to point them out, that would be fantabulous! ( I should hire you as my editor or something. πŸ˜‰ )
                    No the powdered sugar thing was not something that personally happened to me. I’m not sure where it came from. πŸ˜‰ πŸ™‚

                    Thanks for reading! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

                    @graciegirl
                    Aww thanks! πŸ™‚ That makes me happy inside. (and I think it’s perfectly acceptable to make up words. Shakespeare did it.) πŸ™‚

                        No success. I’ll try it in two parts.

                        @Winter-Rose Aw, thanks. πŸ˜€ I am a detail oriented person, so that’s probably the difference. (Likely something in the difference between a Perceiver and a Judger. I’m a most definite J. πŸ˜‰ )
                        Here we are.

                        Part One

                        β€œThanks captain obvious,” She retreated to the fridge once again. — period after ‘obvious’

                        details,” She said. — ‘she’

                        Happy Birthday — not a huge deal, but song titles are properly in quotes, not italics.

                        and pored myself a cup. —‘poured’

                        It’s demented, permanent marker smiley face —‘it’s’ = ‘its’

                        Brittany — it was spelled like this once in the first part—the first time it mentioned her I think

                        more pizza,” She said — ‘she’

                        Don’t let me get in your way,” I hastily — period after ‘way’.

                          Part Two

                          It was no nowhere in sight. — it says ‘no nowhere’

                          out you!” My grandpa yelled from the dining room. — ‘My’ = ‘my’

                          Don’t worry, it get’s worse. — ‘get’s’ = ‘gets’

                          throwing open it’s doors — ‘it’s’ = ‘its’

                          My mother want’s me — ‘want’s’ = ‘wants’

                          need to go home,” Liam eased — period after ‘home’

                          the door for you,” Liam stepped out — period after ‘you’

                          you aren’t in trouble,” She started. — ‘She’ = ‘she’

                          her earing f — earring

                          β€œOne moment,” She pried his finger —‘She’ = ‘she’

                          avoided,” She said. — ‘She’ = ‘she’

                          on problem one?” She asked. — ‘She’ = ‘she’

                          As you wish,” She returned to feeding Eli. —period after ‘wish’

                          But mark me,” She wagged her finger at me. β€œYou will tell me,” — ‘She’ = ‘she’ — period after ‘tell me’

                          That’s that. πŸ˜€ Have a fantabulous evening. @Winter-Rose
