Aww, that ending made me look forward to a day when hopefully our 3-month-old baby will say thank you. Also, as an American reader I wanted to say I don’t have any trouble with your British-isms! Although I read a lot of books by British authors as a child so I think I’m more steeped in the vocabulary than perhaps the average American.
One of the best things about the toddler/pre-school age is having those first little conversations! Nothing will prepare you emotionally for the first “thank you” or “I love you” though, so be warned!
This such an emotional and relatable story love the language you’ve used throughout you are a talented writer!
Thank you so much! 😊
Growing up in eastern North Carolina, we referred to the trunk of a car as a boot. I have long since moved away, so it's nice to hear that word again.
Ah that’s fascinating, I always just assumed it was a British only term!

Lol I also wrote about puddles in July this week... Only difference is that I'm in Australia so puddles are to be expected at this time of year
As a Bluey superfan, that comparison warms my heart - thank you! 🙏
