Time for Friday's 100 word response to a photo posted by Madison Woods (http://madison-woods.com) along with others all over the world. I always appreciate any input to make the writing better along with reactions to the content. Cheers, Lorelei
Whitewash
No teenagers live here, so my chances of selling off the whitewash opportunity are nil. This whole wall has to be done by tonight, Nico said. I wanted to go to school today too. We were going to see a movie about pirates but of course, he has to have the back of the inn whitewashed. And for whom? Who will ever see it in this narrow street back here, except for old Stefanos and his donkey picking up the trash barrels? Of course, his daughter Maria sometimes comes along. Okay, I'm getting to work. But first, let's see how I can make my hair come to a point.

The Greek Tom Sawyer? Enjoyed it.
There's a young man with his priorities in tact. I really enjoyed this one, Lorelei.

Hi Loreli,
Loved the opening allusion to Tom Sawyer and the whole idea about the whitewash because, to me, the whites dominated this photo. Fun story! Ron
I hate jobs like that, but if Maria shows it may be worth it. Nice use of the prompt.
I'm here

This was a great lighthearted take on the prompt. I love how you followed his train of thought (and that he had read Tom Sawyer).
I like a man who can see an opportunity in everything. Nice work.
I like the Tom Sawyer angle. Mine is here: http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/fridayfictioneers-i-want-out/
I like your take on the prompt...hopefully Maria shows. Thanks so much for stopping by mine
This made me chuckle right to the end where he is vain enough to worry about his hair. I guess he's hoping to bump into Maria. Nice work.
Not sure this went through. Trying again. It would help if you deleted Captcha.
This gave me a chuckle, right to the end where he is vain enough to worry about his hair. Probably hoping to bump into Maria.
evidence that the generations are changing. well done.
Kids! Gotta love them. Nicely done.
That story was a lot of fun. Brought back long-ago memories of reading Tom Sawyer. Hope the kid gets to go out after all!
Awww - I like this kid. And I'm wondering how his hair turned out.
Interesting angle - the wall rather than the alley :-)
Well written.

A fantastic take on the photo. Samuel Clemens would have enjoyed it, too.

(The whole 'prove you're not a robot thing that blogspot makes you go through to comment is offputting. Slogging through it now. Pray for me.)
