Has anyone voted? I really liked last week's, the one about the shidduch, and the one about the war a few weeks ago. Which one does everyone think is better?
Let's hear which story you're voting for!

The one with the two sisters was really good. I didn't have kids for a long time and could relate to her idea, you do start to think like that. It was touching and well-written and the ending was hopeful without being fairytale.
The first one was very good--interesting, different, satisfying.
The earrings story was too true to life! A good message in a light tone.
The wedding story was funny and don't you wish the system was really like that?
The pizza story was good, I liked the father's character and the background details but personally I'm older-single-shidduch-storyed out.
I appreciated the different topic in the war story.
The house story was sad. The grandmother's character was nicely drawn.
The last story had a very Riva Pomerantz-ish vibe. I wasn't sure though if we were supposed to be laughing at the main character or admiring her for being right at the end?
