🔑 The language point
- Se laver = to wash ONESELF — the pronoun changes with the person: je me lave, tu te laves, Trotro se lave.
- C’est l’heure de… = it’s time for… — the phrase of every French childhood: l’heure du bain, du goûter, du dodo (bedtime).
- Trop + adjective = TOO (a complaint!) vs très = very: trop chaude = too hot.
