Another Aussie Milepost

"Let's play footy", said Dominic, while holding his basketball. 

Footy.  That's the Australian word for - I believe - any of the several versions of football played here. Dominic didn't learn that word from us  --  we've never uttered it ourselves.

That's another Australianism he's picked up on his way to becoming an Australian.

Meanwhile Pia has picked up "To infinity and beyond!" on her way to becoming an Austronaut.
