• Granny, are you coming to my Nativity?
• Of course I am pet. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
• I have a very important part.
• Brilliant, tell me more.
• I’m the angel Gabrielle.
• Gabriel you mean.
• No granny. I’m a girl so I’m Gabrielle. My mammy loves Gabrielle.
• Gabrielle is not an angel, pet. She’s a singer.
• I know, my mammy loves her songs. We play them in the car all the time. But, I told the teacher I’m Gabrielle cos I’m a girl.
• Good on you, love.
• I have a long white dress and silver wings.
• You’ll be only gorgeous.
• And I have to tell Holy Mary ‘Do not be afraid. I have great news for you. You’re going to have a baby and you’ve to call him Jesus’.
• You’ll be the star of the show.
• Granny?
• Yes, pet?
• Can you make me an eye patch?
• Sorry?
• A silver one, to match my wings.
• Why do you want an eye patch?
• Gabrielle wears one.
• But I’m not sure the angel Gabriel did.
• Please Granny.
• I’ll see what your mammy says.
• She told me to ask you because you’re brilliant at sewing.
• Did she now?

I wonder what teacher will have to say?
