Learner Dad: I wish we’d named them Traolach and Caoimhe

"...they'd never last long in places like Australia and America, where no one can pronounce their name"

A funny thing happened on my way to work this morning. I ended up behind the school bus that had collected my two kids about 20 minutes earlier. And I felt a bit sad.

Not about the school bus. Seriously, we love our new life in East Cork, and the fact that a lovely man picks up our kids in the morning and drops them home later is one of our favourite things. But it just felt odd that they were there, right in front of me, but moving along in a different world.
