A very enjoyable read! Thanks for sharing it. :) Hearing someone say, "cogitate" would probably stick in my mind too.

I know. Quite the word, isn't it?

These characters do live in our heads. Thanks for the introduction. Hope Lannie has a good life ahead (I would have chosen the butt spanking - that's what butts are for). And the character that lives in my head most of the time is now featured in a new WIP that I hope to publish this year, even if I can't get a publisher interested and have to do it myself.

And so, now, Lannie knows how the world works? That made me smile. Love Lannie and the characters. Yes, please, write more on Lannie and her world. But first you’ll have to cogitate on it for a while. I’ll be watching for her.

I think we all had these moments as kids when we finally understood what was going on in the "real" world of the adult. I love recalling those years.
