The trouble with coded language!

[Caroline @WecopsCaroline]

He looks back, laughs and says, ‘it’s a spillage, you can clear it up if you like?!’ 🙄😂😂😂

Would love an update on this little guy - who went viral in 2019 after being filmed in conversation with his attentive dad. My prediction: as a rising kindergartner, his language and literacy skills are off the charts.
