It’s wonderful that you post on Bluesky, and thanks for that! Whenever the tool you use makes it easy, it would be great to have the “alt” text in the Alt text, and of course the actual description although I suspect this may be harder…

Billy as a kid never says a word. His parents take him to experts, but nothing. Then, when he's 7, during dinner he takes a bite and spits it out, says "These peas are cold." His parents freak out, ecstatic, crying and hugging. Finally Dad says, "Why have you never spoken before?" Billy says...
Wait, if the child's current vocabulary is twelve words, and their current statement is twelve words long, how did the child accurately monitor their vocabulary, having not learned the previous numbers?

Hover text says "My first words were: 'These were my first words; what were yours?'"
So they would know 18 words, not twelve.
