Thanks for the kind words Dr. V. As I intimated to divalover, my instinct was to have this be a standalone story. Believe it or not it's based on an incident from 1976 (when yours truly was a Cub Scout) where a friend's mom had her skirt accidentally but unceremoniously ripped off by her unwitting son. Of course, the woman in question, while attractive in this old man's memory, was also quite a nice person and the incident was over relatively quickly. That said, the character of Mrs. Parnell derives from a woman I know now who, although a friend, is every bit the archetype described in the story. For me it's all about the comeuppance -- the fall of the proud if you will. With that in mind, I'll try to see if I can't plan a few more misadventures for the preening diva that is Danielle.
