A Visit To My Grandma Part 1 by Taykni in South Africa Part 2 by Ron in Canada Part 3 by Tomas, Ian and Nicolas in Argentina A three-nation collaborative story

Part 1: My baby sister is irritating!

We were sitting at the table when splat, my baby sister poured her milk all over my lap! Oh sorry, my name is Alice, and as I was saying, my baby sister just poured her milk all over my lap. Her name is Rachel, and she is three years old. She is very naughty. I wish I was invisible because I didn't want to eat my string beans! My mom and dad are scientists and it's so boring at supper time because all they talk about is science. I excused myself  and went to my room to clean the mess on my lap.

On my way to my room I tripped over one of Rachel's baby toys that my mom and dad refuse to throw away. I've tried to put them away in her toy box, but when she realizes that someone will clean up for her, she just takes them out of the box and throws them around, making a bigger mess than before! The result looks like a tornado went through her room, which I then have to clean up.

I continued down the hall, dodging more toys, and thought about how unfair it was. Everyone expects me to take care of my sister, even though I don't even like her! I have friends, I have things to do, but everyone expects me to follow my sister around, cleaning up after her, making sure she doesn't get hurt, and what do I get in return? Nothing, that's what!

Part 2: An exciting find in my pocket!

Yuck!..... This sucks." I got to my room and was trying to look for a shirt without getting any milk on me. I found an old outfit, and when I put it on, I realized there was something in the pocket!

 It was an envelope, and I threw it to the floor thinking it was nothing.  That night I stared again at the envelope, and I wanted to see it. Then I went rushing to my bedroom and inside the bed. I opened it….  There was a white piece of paper in it. I was very sleepy so I couldn´t understand it. It said Japan AIRLINES!! I couldn´t believe it. Today it was September 10, and the ticket was for 11th of September at 10pm. That  was the following day! I got crazy because I had never flown in a plane. 

Part 3: Japan here I come!

The next day I packed my bag and when nobody saw me I escaped from the back window. I stopped the first taxi that passed by. Then I went to the airport and then to the plane…

  I saw something very strange. It was my grandmother that lived there in Japan. But when she saw me she was very surprised. She was expecting my parents. Then I realized that the dress was from my mother! And my grandmother had sent them to my mother and father. But that didn’t matter, I was in JAPAN!!! So my grandmother took me to her home. It was a brown little house.

But then I thought that my parents would be looking for me. So I phoned them. I spent one week in Japan, and my parents said that they were coming to Japan in one month’s time so we would have a super vacation of one month, me alone with grandmother! “Granny, where am I sleeping tonight?” I asked. “You will be sleeping in that little room in the attic, ” said Grandma. “But I didn’t want to sleep in that room its soooo creepy because you keep your big dolls in there from when you were small!
