    I still like S.D. Smith’s story the best, but Bad Roads made me laugh out loud.

    I also would have voted for S.D. Smith’s Aletha story. But if we were voting for the funniest I’d have to agree with Jodi.

    Thanks for picking my story to be in the finals! It was so fun to read many of the different entries. It just goes to show that kids say the funniest things! I was also blown away by the creative storytelling from all those who wrote a children’s story vs. a story about a child! Keep blogging! It gives this SAHM something to do when baby naps :)

    S.D. Smith says:

    All three are grand.

    I voted for the “poop” and “pee” one.

    I almost engaged in the subject of the story from laughing so hard.

    Oh my word! This is NO contest – BAD ROADS – particularly because it doesn’t involve a parent. That poor uncle!! What a trooper!

    I was taking a sip of Coke while reading “Bad Roads”. Let’s just say more ended up in my nose than down my throat.
