It sounds true to the ear, so it must be good.
Good Job.

I like the ‘home spun’ wisdom angle of it, complete with the character voice effectively written so we can hear it. I liked the bit about knowin’ too much.

I love his street corner wisdom! “Do your knowin’ early, so you can’t get knowin’ what the Lord don’ want’y’t know.”
Brilliant!

Awesome. Sometimes, advice from the strangest people is the absolute best. That’s definitely the case here.

Love the funny stereotypical elder talk. “Sonny Jim…” And, of course, the lesson behind it. Interesting ideas.

I like how it was written using the character’s words and spelling accordingly. i agree with THX 5 stars
