They lack life experience to tune their BS meter, for one thing. Mily Cyrus' father was on set for her show (and played a character). She is very talented and successful but still has struggles.
That fame at an early age has to mess you up to varying degrees. You might start believing you are great instead of just famous. I imagine it must be a hassle to be famous at any age. People always want some of your time. Which is why I have remained unknown. 😉🤣
Child actors get run through the mill. Look at the lives of all the former Disney child stars. It appears to be institutionalized child abuse. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I guess this is a cliffhanger. We can make it what we want it to be they might’ve gotten married or maybe they didn’t. Maybe she changes his habits from eating junk food to running with her.👍🏻🧐😁
Yes, I wanted readers to use their imagination. I like to think it worked out. She got him to join her healthy lifestyle and he keeps her entertained with stories about Hollywood.
Awwww, Mark, what a sweet sweet story getting past the past. Perfect for Monday morning at six o'clock. The music video? I should have saved that for this afternoon or at least until I had had my coffee. Yeeeooow! Shades of my youth. Thanks for the morning's entertainment. Lovely!
I never know what mood you are going to be in when I click Mark Starlin. A little bit of everything to keep us a bit off kilter. As my old mom would say, you have fingers in many pies.
Yes! I love variety. So I write a variety of things. Whatever inspires and interests me at the moment. Probably not the best marketing strategy, (you must find a niche!) but it keeps me sane.
Exactly. It's not like I am chasing a writing career at my age. So I can write whatever I want. Within reason, of course. Nobody wants to read my grocery list or journal (I don't journal.)
Wait. I thought The Farmer was *in* The Dell. Which had to be pretty small if there was only room for one farmer. And one cheese. 🤔 Slimline laptop, maybe?
Dells are still a thing, still marketed to consumers and businesses. Deb uses one because she is NOT going to switch to Mac after using Windows the last 2½ decades. (But it’s an old one running Windows 8 because she doesn’t want to deal with the modern version.)
We’re streamers also! Every so often someone will reference a TV commercial and Deb & I are clueless. OTOH if we really want to see a commercial we can just search on YouTube.
Okay. They don’t bombard television with commercials anymore so I didn’t know. Although I don’t watch commercials anymore. We just stream everything. 🤣
It means that you should never eat Dell's lasagna. Cheese is notoriously self-centered, anti-social, and doesn't melt well with others. On the other hand, true farmers rarely eat Italian food.
What a sweet story. I think they were meant to find each other! Loved the song parody, too.
Thanks, Justin. I can’t help writing those happy endings. 🤣
Please keep ‘em coming! 😄

I would hope it's better now, but probably not. I don't think humans are designed to handle fame. Especially children.
There IS life after being famous....
I would think that would be the best of both worlds. Who wants fame when you get older? What a hassle. Not that I would know. 🤣
Thanks for reading and commenting, David.

Yeah. That is not really a morning song. 🤣
I am glad you enjoyed the story. 🤓

Market, schmarket! Do what makes you happy. Sanity is no longer required when you are our age.

The Grocery List! Now!

Always the tech guy. 🤣
Do they still make Dells? (I've been a Mac guy since 1990.)

Nice turn-about on life as a former child actor, Mark.
Thanks, John. I would think it must feel like two different lives. Unless you are one of the few who transition into an adult actor.
Mark, the cheese, just like my dad jokes, stand alone. Fun short story with a happy ending. I like those. 👍
Dad jokes are a unalienable right. And national treasures. They must be told!
Thanks, Brian. 🤓

Cheese is so uppity. 🤨 😂
If I was a farmer, I would eat Italian food a lot. And Mexican. 🌮🍝🧀
