Today’s drabble challenge word is “known”.

A drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words. No more. No less.

If you enjoyed this, let me know by highlighting, clapping, and commenting!

After another long day flapping around Baby Dragon, he was finally asleep. Now Mummy Dragon could relax and enjoy her favourite fantasy series.

She loved reading about these mythical creatures called human beings and their complete lack of magical powers.

As a first-time mother, her parenting mishaps paled when compared to hilarious stories about toilet training and tantrums.

Even so, she still cringed about the time a fire burp incinerated the curtains. Baby Dragon wasn’t allowed fizzy drinks after that.

And if only Mummy Dragon had known not to feed him beans on toast, they might still have carpets.

Thank you for reading my drabble. Feel like creating your own? The following explains how you can join in…
