Because a drabble is quite short(only 100 words) please remain on the page for at least 30 seconds to count this as a full read. Reading to the end, clapping, and highlighting will help to do this.

Grandma’s excited because she’s traveling to London. Uncle Zach and Aunt Betty just had a baby boy, Grandma’s first grandchild. It’s also her first time traveling outside Africa.

She packed lots of things to take along; six large suitcases and two bags with food items that Aunt Betty asked her to bring.

When Uncle Zach meets her at the airport, he’s shocked to see the number of suitcases.

“What’s inside all these suitcases, mum?’’

“They are clothes for the cold, I was told it’s cold here.”

“That’s in winter. It’s summer now and the weather’s hot.”

“Yeah, I just noticed.”
