"She'll Lose Her Hat!"
Another Russian dark humor Drabble
Picture the dead of the Siberian winter, when people bundle up and look like Russian nesting dolls. In a rundown high-rise apartment building, an old woman is dragging a little girl up the stairs, by the girl's foot, with the girl's head banging on the stairs.
A younger woman is coming down the stairs, sees this picture, and hears the sound of the girl's head banging on the stairs.
"Jeez, babushka, what are you doing?" she says to the old woman. "Your little girl will lose her hat that way!"
"Nope, she won't!" the old woman grunts. "I've nailed it!"
100 words exactly makes a Drabble
