Oh heaven - had a story planned in my head, didn't write it yet, and now if I do it will look as if I stole your idea! I.e., I love your story @whatisnew. My story (lodged in my head, unwritten): the daughter who bakes an apple pie for Dad, thinking "I did something right today!" - only to have it backfire, as always, because in Dad's eyes, she does nothing right. ("Where did you get the apples...")
Hmmm. Maybe it's different enough from yours, I wouldn't be suspected of lifting the idea from you.
(This happens, people. If you wait too long, someone else might write a story like the one you held onto!)
