-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is "Some Mothers". We all remember what it was like when we were in trouble as children and we didn't understand why, this is one child's view of this.
Remember, closing date is 1st August.
This is a couple of paragraphs of the story:
‘I am grounded! Grounded until I learn to behave. What have I done? Well, I haven’t stolen anything – except Mom’s peace of mind. Neither have I murdered or assaulted anyone – unless with honesty – nor accidentally (on purpose) lost Mom during a shopping trip. Not this time, anyway. I haven’t stayed out late without permission or been caught kissing my boyfriend in the barn – yet; and neither have I been bossy towards, or threatened to kill, my little brother recently. I stay out of his way just in case temptation proves impossible to resist since getting the blame when he scoffed a whole cheesecake that Mom had in the fridge.
I haven’t jumped my pony over the locked field gate and gone off riding up on the mountain alone; or poured a bottle of Gran’s home-made wine into his feed to see if he’d jump higher or race faster on it – not for over three years now. And I gave up brewing hooch in the pigsty when a bottle blew up in my twin brother’s hands and I was scared he’d bleed to death.’

... just because the look on Dicker's face soooooo looks like I imagine the one being grounded to look...
