It was 2 p.m. on Friday, and the school bell had just rung. School was over, and all the kids were excited that it was Friday again.
“Hi, Mrs. Briggs,” Cynthia said.
“Hello, Cynthia, how are you doing today?”
“I’m very fine, thank you. Caleb! Boma! Your mum is here.”
“Bye, Miss Cynthia,” the kids screamed as they ran to their mum’s car.
Boma and Caleb sat quietly in front of the TV, watching their favourite show on CBeebies.
“Ring, ring, ring,” the doorbell rang. Caleb stood up and ran towards the door.
“Come back,” Boma said. “Mummy said we are not allowed to answer the door.”
“So should we keep the visitor waiting?” he asked.
Just then, the children’s mum rushed out of her room and went straight to the door.
“Grandma! Grandma!” the kids screamed as they both hugged their grandma.
They loved their grandmother, particularly because she always had many gifts for them and fun stories to tell.
The next day was the 21st of June, and it was Grandma’s 70th birthday. The kids were so excited that they woke up very early that morning. They helped Mum bake Grandma’s cake and make some special cookies. Next, Mum, Dad, Caleb, and Boma entered Grandma’s room to surprise her.
“Good morning, Grandma,” Boma said.
As Grandma turned to respond, the four of them chorused a loud “Happy Birthday!” They also presented the cake to the celebrant. Next, Caleb started the Happy Birthday song, and everyone joined in.
Later that day, the kids designed birthday cards for their granny, Mum prepared a special dinner, and Dad got her a beautiful gift. Grandma was so grateful; she loved her family so much.
