Today was such a fun day! It was Mom’s day off from her office, so I was already happy in the morning. It was supposed to be a normal school day for me, but Dad said that since it’s Annual Day for the big students (class 9 to 12), we juniors don’t have school. I don’t know how Dad knows these things, but he said it, so I believed him!

Before he went to office, I asked Dad to choose a movie for Mom, me, and my brother Pravin to watch in the afternoon. He picked one on Jio Hotstar and said it was a little old but we would enjoy it a lot.

When we finally sat down to watch it, suddenly the lights went off! My brother shouted, “Nooooooo!” After a few minutes, the lights came back and Mom continued watching the movie. But my brother fell asleep…and slept for almost four hours!

Later, the lights went off again. I didn’t even care this time. I just went downstairs to get my favorite toy, Zenga. I built a train and a house beside a river with the blocks. I even tried to build a baby, but it kept falling and I got so annoyed!

When the lights came back, I felt hungry, so I grabbed a snack and ate it. Then I read a storybook until I felt sleepy too. Mom was still watching her movie peacefully.

I fell asleep, and Mom also took a nap. About two hours later, I woke up, ate lunch, and studied my school books with Mom.

So yeah, my holiday was unexpected… but super fun!
