Baby Drago’s Diary: The day ‘Baragacha' came for me

My name is Baby Drago.

I am three (and a third years old) and, at nights, I am sleeping.

Another day in the middle of this week Baby Drago wakes up to find he is all alone in a new house.

I leave our bed-roon and go to chicken, then sitting-roon, calling ‘Alicia, Alicia,’ but my nanny she is not there.

So I leave our flat and go upstairs to wakina Ava’s – where I find my big sister Milan playing with her new bestie in this new estate, Olivia.

Even the Auntie Lynn of wakina Olivia is not there – but Ava, who is four, she run out of home. We climbed lifts and go to the underground where my car, ‘Leo the Truck’ it has been park.

I climb into driver chair of lorry. Ava she climb upped next to me.

I switch on ‘Leo the Truck,’ and VROOOM, we come out of the parking and joined the road. I cannot understand how I am able to drive this lorry, and I did not yet go to Driving Glory!

We get to the mall, and even if we are small, me and Ava are let into the big hall of shopping.

But this is after we are satanized, and our head is checked with pistol, lol.

We get a lot of candy yummy yummy!

When we get to the till my mum is there to pay. I am so happy to see her.

But after she pays, she disappears. I cry ‘My mummy, mummy ...’ till Ava says I take her Heaven School. So I do – dropping her outside, and saying ‘take yummy, we eat them at brake times.’

Then I go to house to get my Spider bag.

After I parked Leo the Truck, I see a long snail coming out from another car in the parking.

It chased me, but I beat it to the lift – which lifted me to our six-floor corridor. But as I come out of lift, I see it peeping n coming up the six-floor stairs, so I run very fast to our door and screamed ‘Open, OPEN DADDY, Big Snail is coming to eat lil baby Drago!’

At the very last second, my Daddy opens the door, and I jump into his hands.

Kumbe it is sunrise through the window, and my daddy is holding scared me as he says: ‘Shush, Lil Man, there are no snakes in our house ...’ ‘BIG,’ I whisper. ‘Snail wants to eat Baby Drago!’

‘What is it?’ I hear my mummy saying sleepily (kumbe she came home straight from the Super)?

‘Baby Drago just had a bad dream,’ Dad says, ‘It’s all those stories you tell him about Baragacha!’

‘Then you tell him bedtime stories,’ my Mummy says crossly and goes back to her dreams.
