A story has been written.

Well, part of a story anyways. I wasn't necessarily planning on it being as long as it was, 8750 words, but it's written. >.> What? Don't look at me like that, I write like Hemmingway. Character development, and ample descriptions abound. All that's left to do is to go through and do a proof read, and look for errors or anything in general that doesn't quite look right story wise.
As a bit of a setup and heads up on what the story's about, a son finds out about his dad's 'little' secret. Ultimately the son sets up some things with some financial help from the mom/wife to help his father unwind after a streak of stressful days at work. It's the first day of the first weekend of crinkly activities, as told from the perspective of the dad. There's a follow up part that I have outlined in my head that's basically the rest of the weekend. I also have a few loose ideas for follow-up installments for these guys. But, all that will probably come after I see what kind of feedback I get on this initial diapered day in. They are a family of gorillas by the way, mostly because I don't think that there are enough crinkly primates these days. Also, there's more than a few clichés in this story, I couldn't help myself.
Well, that's about it for now. If you want to read it when I post it, please do. Also, some critiques would be helpful, but be respectful, and keep formal critiques to notes only. Please, and thanks.
