One morning, Bandit and Chilli woke up to the sound of Bluey crying. They ran into her room, where they found her gnawing at one of the ‘ribs’ of the cot. There, they discovered that she was teething, because her first tooth was coming. Chilli phoned my siblings Luke, Resus and Cleo to tell them the good news, and that made them curious about what would happen if their baby sister, who was me, started teething. Mrs Watson, Luke’s mum, said they could go and visit Horse for inspiration.
Once Mrs Watson dropped them off, Horse welcomed them inside and found the photo album on his bookshelf. Through the baby photos he showed my siblings, he mentioned that when Cowboy and Indian were teething, he bought lots of teething gel and toys so they don’t feel discomfort and pain. Whenever the pain came, he would apply the gel to their gums, and he watched as they bit through the toys - Cowboy innocently nibbled, while Indian’s chewing had power! Once his story was over, Horse took Cowboy, Indian and my siblings back to my house, where they found me playing with Bella Negative. Horse had taken his old giraffe chew toy and, as he watched Cowboy and Indian interact with me, he remembered the times when he was teething too. At the same time, Chilli had bought a new teething toy - a kangaroo, for Bluey, so she can chew in case of pain. Bluey was free from discomfort at last.
At dinner, Horse told everyone about how I would soon eat solid food should I teeth soon. Everyone was laughing over the conversation, but they laughed harder when I flung my bowl of porridge at Niles. He was covered in porridge!
