“matilda and ……”

I was out of commission this weekend, but I’m back and I’ve picked a name for Matilda’s platypus friend. I have to say, I was basically cracking up reading your name suggestions because while most of you did disguise your identities, you didn’t disguise your email addresses, and, well, pippa, it was pretty much a dead giveaway for the majority of you. Hahahaha. It was adorable. I loved all the suggestions and I thank everyone who threw a name into the ring here. It was a hard decision — a couple of the names were truly tugging at me. So I took those last few names and did a random drawing to come up with Thee Olde Name. I don’t have a prize to give our winner, just a warm feeling of self-satisfaction and smugness — how’s that sound?

So without further ado …… Matilda’s little friend is ….

“Gumdrop”

“Matilda and Gumdrop”

Ta da. So silly. I love it.
