Picture this: you’re quietly sitting at your mum’s feet, gnawing on your silent confidant, Monkey, while listening to the adults talk. Mum and dad have friends over. You’re not entirely sure what they’re saying, but let’s be honest, none of it really matters anyway, that is, until you hear your name. Sure, everything between your name is still gibberish, but whatever it is, it’s the sound of happiness.
