One night when Miller had a sleepover at my house, we ordered a pizza. My mother was doing the laundry. My father called, "Jac, Wilson, and Milller - get in here and eat." When we came in, we all sat down. I said the blessing. Miller said, "Let's eat!" "OK," I said. Jac said, "Wait." Jac's my little brother. "Maybe we need to let it cool down." Miller said, "It's not hot." I said, "Maybe you should listen to Jac, Miller." He lifted the pizza box. I saw smoke come off it. Miller picked a piece up and took a bite. He swiftly threw it back down in the pizza box. He said, "OK, I lied!" We laughed for a long time. We still talk about that.

I was very impressed with how well the small moments story, " I Lied", was written. I think anyone who has eaten hot pizza can relate to this story. Thanks for sharing your experience. Terri, Retired Teacher
I agree. I love how Wilson takes an everyday morment - a moment we can all relate to, and then tells it so well.
Not only does Wilson make the moment come to life, but the title really grabbed my attention! Good job, Wilson.
I really enjoyed reading Wilson's small moments story, "I Lied". I felt as though I could almost taste the Pizza. Great Job Wilson! I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.
