Oh, my goodness. I'm having so many flashbacks. LOL! And, old Barnabas! I wasn't allowed to watch him either. But I would sneak watching at a neighbor's house. Someday I'll write a funny follow up on that. This is engrossing, Gina! I'm looking forward to where you go with it.

Gina, you are an excellent writer, but more importantly you are an excellent storyteller. Love the throwaway details that give the story life.

Loved it! You put me right there, on the school bus, seeing the shiny, black door, watching Al, Mama’s French Twist, the peanuts and coke. I had to research Barnabas; obviously, I was not allowed to watch it bc I had no clue who that was. 🫣 I can’t wait to read the next part!

I wouldn't have known who he was either, without my classmates talking about the show! Thanks for reading, Donna. I'm having a lot of fun getting this story out!
