With gentle steps she entered home,praying not to be seen by dad.
“I saw you.Learning to ride on the beach” she suddenly heard him shout.
“I was just..” she tried to speak in vain.
“Do you have any idea how it looked ? a girl of your age doing something like this ??”
“But I only ..” she was cut off again.
“Vulgar !! that’s the word. you hear me !!”
And this went on till she started to cry hard and promised not to ride again. Her brother never even tried to learn and she actually rode it. But she knew she would not get any praise for that.
The bicycle was anyway sold next day.

The inconsistent nature of males and females must come to an end in this world.
totally agree to this Thom ! thanks for the visit !
It’s sad it was like that. Nicely done.
sad indeed !
I, for the life of me, cannot understand what people choose to think is bad or good. I agree with Thom!
Yes .. Some people are beyond our understanding !
i can’t understand what is wrong with riding a bicycle.. the conceptualization of good and bad for someone shd be left to that someone. and not decided by us or anyone else..
well narrated story.. glad the picture inspired you Lady Nimue
Hey .. I did not know that you run the Thursday tales blog ! kudos for the good work Leo !
And as i said before, some people are beyond any reason ..
yep. thanks for the kudos lady nimue
i co-run it actually. my partner in crime, Ms.Meduri is not having access to net these days…
keep writing, ur tales are wonderful..!
my bad ! i dint know about Meduri .. I love her tales a lot .. and your intelligent posts too
Thanks for the kind words !
Excellent and sad tiny tale, and how true, what Thom said. Double standards based on sex simply must come to an end.
Glad to see you here ! And more glad that you liked the post . Agree with what you feel
I believe there is more to ladynimue than what appears in her writings(read offerings…).
When she rode….has all in it that is all set to wreck even the hardest of the Heart!
Now at least we need to change & it appears that ‘ladynimue’ is poised to pioneer…’Keep Up’ Yourself….n keep it up.
@infoamit
thats too huge a praise for my humble words .. thanks for visiting and i hope to see you again
I agree with the comments above regarding the double standard you address so well here.
I particularly enjoyed the opening…
“With gentle steps she entered home,praying not to be seen by dad.”
Haven’t we all been there at some point?
oh ya .. but often it was when we did something naughty .. not like this !!! pity the poor girl …
Powerful double standard. Nicley written.

sad tale…i am glad we have moved ast this somewhat…
huh? what kinda society is this?
freedom is a big word in a small mind….
how apt
Sad. I know this feeling too. I’m still breaking the girl rules, but at least my Dad encouraged me. I have a feeling had my mother been around to have a say, she wouldn’t have.
Great that you got your dad’s support ! Go girl !!!
quite unfair but that’s how it is in certain parts of the word, nice litte piece of writing
thanks for droping this comment !
