I love my tablet. I love playing games and watching videos. I love it so much I take it everywhere and use it all the time. My mummy does not like my tablet. She thinks I use it too much. She only thinks that because she never had a tablet when she was young. Today, I went to use my tablet and the power turned off. I couldn’t play any games. I couldn’t watch any videos, and my tablet was dying. What in the world am I to do? I’ll die of boredom for sure. Five minutes without my tablet and I was pacing the floor. I just don’t know what to do. Mummy walks by, and simply says “Go outside.” Go OUTSIDE? Is she out of her mind? I’ll get itchy, and dirty. And it’s SO HOT! No way. I can’t do that. Mummy starts to go on and on about how she would play when she was young but that doesn’t change my mind at all. Besides, she has so much to say about how she used to play but I don’t see her going outside. “Come,” She said. “Let me show you what it was like in the good ole’ days.” Mummy took me outside and my skin started to melt off my bones. The grass was already pricking my skin, and a rock rolled right into my Crocs. Mummy didn’t mind any of my cries, and started to show us all the joys of her old life. That day, we climbed the mango tree until my sister Jana scraped her knee. We played hopscotch on the concrete using rocks to draw on the street. Daddy taught us how to shoot marbles in the dirt. Johnny lost and was very hurt. We made mud-pies and fed them to all the guys. We spinned and sang to the beat of our own drum, There’s a brown girl in the ring. Sha-la-la-la-la. There’s a brown girl in the ring sha-la-la-la-la. There’s a brown girl in the ring sha-la-la-la-la. And she looks like a sugar and a plum, plum, PLUM. So soon, it was time to go inside. Mummy picked the prickles off of my pants as I tried not to cry. The power was back on, but it was not as fun. Mummy was really right about them good ole’ days.

1) Besa a 5 year old girl ,packed her bags with glee, Off to Kosova, as happy as can be! From her home in the USA, She was ready for her summer stay. 2) The plane touched down, the air was warm, Her gjyshë (grandmother) hugged her, arms like a storm. "Mirë se vjen, Besa!" she said with cheer, "Welcome home, we’re glad you’re here!" 3) First to Prishtina, the city so bright, With busy streets and cafes in sight. They walked to the sheshi (square) where flags were held high, And Besa smiled as they waved in the sky. 4) Then off to Rugova, the valley so green, With mountains taller than she'd ever seen. She hiked with her cousins, laughing all day, Splashing in streams, enjoying their play. 5) At night in Peja, under stars that gleamed, They ate flija (a special dish), just like she dreamed! With family and laughter, the night felt right, Besa was happy in the soft, calm night. 6) Next was Prizren, with streets made of stone, Where history and charm are clearly shown. They climbed the castle, so high in the air, Besa looked down, feeling love everywhere. 7) Then came the day she’d waited so long, To visit Gjilan, where she felt so strong. It is the place where her family is from, A town that always made her heart hum. 8) At Vali Ranch, the horses stood high, Besa chose one with a gleam in their eye. She rode with joy, feeling the breeze, Laughing and smiling, completely at ease. 9) She visited her familja (family) with hugs so tight, In Gjilan, everything felt just right. They shared stories, laughter, and love, Besa knew she was blessed from above. 10) Her summer in Kosova soon would end, But she knew in her heart, she’d come back again. From Rugova’s peaks to Prizren’s old town, And Gjilan’s warmth that never let her down. 11) Back to America, she flew through the skies, With stories of love, joy, and bright eyes. Besa smiled as the plane took flight, Kosova stayed in her dreams each night.
