Mary Anne (Good Bye Norma Jean)

Hi Caleb,
Just wanted to let you know that I have just got around to reading this magnificent and most enjoyable story. Where to start, I just love to whole idea of Jack treating Ethan like a brat because that is exactly what he needed a good kick or should I say paddle to his butt several times for the way he has been acting and not taking care of himself as far as his health goes and Andy as well.

(LOL I suppose you may be right but if you thin about it Ethan wasn't out to do himsef a harm. It happened because of his emotional make up.
As Jack said, he isn't in love any longer with Ethan but he loves him dearly and will not let anything happen to him.)


I think Chris gave Andy the right idea to go an a holiday because he and Ethan definitely needed a break from each other so they could get their priorities together for what they want from each other and Chris was the best brat to go with him to try and help keep him on the straight and narrow.

(I don't know about straight and narrow but Chris would have to face Jack when they got back and that can be a very big influence on behaviour, especially after Holland.)

Loved the way Chris took charge and paddled Andy for taking that drug when he didn't know what it was he was taking.

(I think Chris was as un nerved as Andy by it and there could be repercussions at a later date.)

The part where Damon and Declan showed up at the hotel was indeed a surprise to both Chris and Andy with them thinking they were axe murderers and calling to police, they found out real quick that they were not and that Damon and Declan were exactly who they were.

(Imaginations running wild I think. Ethan and Jack need to vet their movies for a while it seems.)

I bet both of the brats were very happy to be home with Jack and Ethan as well as the tops themselves. I loved the addition of Ben and Erik to the group and Callum telling Erik what he was a top and Ben the brat and it sounds like to me that Ben was indeed a brat and Callum knew exactly what Erik needed to do to get through to Ben and boy for a person not spanked anyone in his life Erik knew exactly what to do and how to handle Adam's paddle with skills.

(Yeah, lol. I think it's hard wired into them. Hopefully there will be more with Erik and Ben in the future.)

Tom and Caleb decided they needed to get away as well and on the way Tom's car went is last miles until it gets to a hospital and back on it's four wheels again and feeling better but I am wondering what happened with them the last I heard of them they were fighting that woman to be let out of the car and got out and they finally got a single and called someone, that's the last I saw of them so I bet in the Epilog Liam was indeed worrying what happened to Caleb. I wonder what Adam finally told him where he was.

(I'm sure they had a lovely holiday once they got to Cornwall. But did Caleb meet any hippies?)

The part where Jack talked Declan into letting Edward be a naughty brat along with Ethan was a surprise to me when he agreed to it and that is another thing Ethan needed to be allowed to play with Edward again, I guess we can say that Edward got lucky this go around and didn't get into trouble for his drinking but Ethan did and I loved it.

(Edward did indeed luck out as you say. He had to know what Ethan was capable of and so did Jack and Declan.)

Thank you for sending this story to me and I can't wait to read more of your amazing stories very soon.

(As soon as I get the next one on the memory stick I will mail it along to you.)

'Splain Me This (Mary Anne)

Caleb,
Well here I am again to thank you for another marvelous new story this month and this one beats hands down. I see you have three more characters to play with in Jason, Jacob and Joseph and I love it.

(Yes we do! The village just keeps growing! Wait till they all go to Centre Parks! Now that should be fun!)

I wonder if Jason will ever quit being so confused with the Village's Top/Brat population, finally understand the lifestyle and settle down with a brat of his own,

(Poor man doesn't really get it does he? Things do have a way of working out though and he should feel the itch soon enough.LOL)


I figure either Jacob or Joseph but I know he will need to be taught what to do and how to live the life but I have a feeling with all the tops running about the Village they will teach him appropriately and he can get in on the fun.

(Okay so you got us there. It is one of them true enough. Oh, just wait till you see how he gets taught girl!)

Man sounds like Jack was on the swatting team this month with most if not all the brats this go around and I loved it a lot, funny though how Jason was around at the same time that the brats were getting into mischief and Jack coming along and swatting when needed.

(Funny? LOL Good it is intrigal to the next story on them so remember this bit!)

Now the brat that takes first place in my book was Aled taking a bubble bath in the middle of the square and second would be Edward and Aled on the riding lawn mower and Edward flying over Aled's head and thank goodness he didn't get hurt with that stunt, that fits Edward to a tee there because afterall Edward is a pilot but he flies airplanes not himself and a skateboard.

(Yes, those two pranks seemed to have been the highlight for everyone. I can't imagine why lol!
I think Edward will stick to flying planes, although not right now. We are in lockdown due to a volcano erupting in Iceland. It has sent clouds all over Europe and no planes can fly at present.)

Most definitely looking forward to reading the next or (sad to say it) last story for this month but I look at it this way April is around the corner and that means be being more closer to more fantastic new stories to read.

Charlies Meltdown (Mary Anne)

Hi Caleb,
I hope this finds you and Adam well and I hope and pray the marriage was a success if by now you two have gotten married.

(It was a glorious day, the sun was out and everything! We had a lovely time and the food from the caterer was gorgeous!)



Thank you for another astounding and magnificent story and I thoroughly loved and enjoyed reading it and you made me smile and much more happier especially after the fist two weeks or so of March.

(You are more than welcome M.A.)


Sounds like Tops in Charlie's case did indeed have a breakdown and needed the help and advice from Callum to get through it and now that he has I bet he will be a better top for Aled and keep him on the straight and narrow from now on and hopefully Charlie won't let the others get him down again.

( He is still relatively new to the whole lifestyle and I can see where he might think his techniques are out there in the limelight for all to criticise. Hopefully Callum has set the record straight for him but if he needs to talk our director is always available with a shoulder.)

I do believe that is what Aled needed himself as far as his brat status goes and I bet he will be much more happier as well but after a couple of months of Charlie being more stricter on him he will think twice about his status when he is sporting a very sore butt for longer periods of time than he was but then again maybe not.

(Aled, like any brat pretty much takes things in his stride. Contraty to what you read elswhere, brats are not always looking for trouble, acting like toddlers, or just being plain stupid lol!
He will be happier with closer monitoring though just like any brat.)

Getting ready to read the next new story that was posted and you will be hearing from me once again about that one.
