Quarantine stories. (Past Simple in the dialogue)

Jimmy and Granma

Written and illustrated by Mindaugas Silinskis.

Jimmy is very excited. He has just finished his dinner and now it's time to chat with his grandmother online.

He is sitting in front of his dad's laptop and waiting. Suddenly, the computer makes a loud ringing sound and here she is. "Granma!"

"Hello, Jimmy, how are you doing my dear?", asks granma.

"I'm ok. It's been a good day so far", answers Jimmy.

"So, tell me, what you did today. I hope you were not too bored".

"Not at all, Granma. I got up pretty late, at about 9:00, had breakfast, and read some comics, and after that, I played with my Lego blocks."

"What did you build?"

"I built a farm and a garage."

"I would love to see it. Can you take a photo and send it to me?"

"Sure, I will!"

"And, what did you have for lunch today?"

"Mom made lasagna."

"Was it as good as mine?"

"It wasn't bad, but yours is better."

"Oh, thank you. What did you do after lunch? Did you have a nap?"

"I did… for about an hour. And after the nap, I did some exercises with dad."

"That's great! It's important to stay active these days. And what about video games?"

"Yes, I played FIFA20 right before dinner. And you, Granma, how was your day?"

"Well, Jimmy, I had a pretty relaxing day. I did some knitting in the morning, watched TV in the afternoon, then later made fruit salad. About an hour ago I opened the family photo album. There are so many beautiful pictures of you. Now I have to get ready to go to bed. Same time tomorrow?"

"Yes! Same time, Granma. Goodnight. I love you"

"Goodnight, my dear. Love you too."
