Speaker 1: the supercast link in the show notes. Anyway, here's a
00:00:25
Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Isla's grandmother had recently
00:00:37
Speaker 1: moved to a new home. Eiler hadn't seen it yet,
00:00:41
Speaker 1: but she'd spoken to her grandmother on the phone a
00:00:43
Speaker 1: few times now, and her grandma always sounded very chirpy
00:00:47
Speaker 1: and chipper when they chatted. Grandma said that she loved
00:00:51
Speaker 1: it at her new home and she couldn't wait to
00:00:53
Speaker 1: show Eila around when she eventually came to visit. Isla
00:00:58
Speaker 1: begged her parents for weeks weeks to take her to
00:01:00
Speaker 1: grandma's new house so that she could see it for herself,
00:01:04
Speaker 1: but they were much too busy to make the journey.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: That is until one Saturday morning, when Ila's mom and
00:01:10
Speaker 1: dad announced that today they would visit Grandma. Islah jumped
00:01:15
Speaker 1: for joy. She couldn't wait to see her grandma and
00:01:18
Speaker 1: instantly got dressed into her favorite pair of dungarees and
00:01:22
Speaker 1: new pink sneakers that flashed with lights every time she
00:01:25
Speaker 1: stomped her feet or clicked her heels. She had waited
00:01:29
Speaker 1: to show her Grandma them for ages. Mom and Dad
00:01:34
Speaker 1: strapped Alah's little brother, Freddy into his car seat, and
00:01:37
Speaker 1: Ilah buckled herself in by his side. Dad had said
00:01:42
Speaker 1: that it would take an hour to drive to grandma's
00:01:44
Speaker 1: new home, but Eila didn't mind. She had packed a
00:01:47
Speaker 1: couple of books in her backpack that she was going
00:01:50
Speaker 1: to read to Freddy on the journey there. Hyler was
00:01:54
Speaker 1: doing very well with learning to read at school, and
00:01:57
Speaker 1: she loved sharing her new skill with her baby. She
00:02:01
Speaker 1: read to Freddy almost every night now before bed. With
00:02:06
Speaker 1: Isla and her brother safely strapped into their seats, Mum
00:02:10
Speaker 1: and Dad climbed into the front of the car and
00:02:13
Speaker 1: they all set off to grandma's new home. An hour
00:02:18
Speaker 1: later they arrived, but Ilah was surprised at how different
00:02:22
Speaker 1: Grandma's house looked now. Before Grandma had lived in a
00:02:27
Speaker 1: bungalow with Granddad in the middle of a town. They
00:02:30
Speaker 1: had a long garden which Grandma grew lots of flowers
00:02:33
Speaker 1: and vegetables in and a sprawling front lawn that Grandad
00:02:37
Speaker 1: kept immaculate by mowing the grass and trimming the hedges.
00:02:43
Speaker 1: Their bungalow had three bedrooms so that either and her
00:02:46
Speaker 1: family could stay and sleep whenever they visited, and they
00:02:50
Speaker 1: had a big, cozy living room with a toy box
00:02:53
Speaker 1: full of games that Islah loved to play with. It
00:02:57
Speaker 1: was a home that was just for them, and now
00:03:01
Speaker 1: Grandma's new home appeared to be very different. As they
00:03:07
Speaker 1: drove down a winding road surrounded by large stretches of
00:03:12
Speaker 1: green grass, Eider could see a huge house in the distance.
00:03:18
Speaker 1: Out front, lots of cars were parked up, and there
00:03:21
Speaker 1: was a stone fountain spurting water into the air in
00:03:24
Speaker 1: front of a giant front door. Their car got closer
00:03:30
Speaker 1: and Ilah spotted benches placed around the edges of the
00:03:33
Speaker 1: grass with several different families sitting on them. There were children, parents,
00:03:40
Speaker 1: and grandparents, even a little dog or two, all together
00:03:45
Speaker 1: sitting and happily chatting in the sun. This seemed like
00:03:50
Speaker 1: a very nice place for families to spend time together.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: Islah wondered if these children were meeting their grandmas here too,
00:04:00
Speaker 1: Does Grandma share her home with all these people, Islah
00:04:05
