Having written "Nursery...Makes perfect sense.<br /><br />Having written "Nursery School Expose'" which was picked up by FOTW in 2013, what Bonnie did, supported by her infallible logic and childhood emotion makes perfect sense.<br /><br />These kinds of acts are the purest, most simple gestures and I loved the honest dialogue, and hope Bonnie continues to put grass on boy's heads until she finds the boy who returns the favor. <br /><br />Well done.<br /><br />Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308823211617703458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-89371269053883302052019-04-17T02:21:42.071+01:002019-04-17T02:21:42.071+01:00This is fantastic!
