Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The aliens in shows like 3rd rock from the sun were pretty clueless about certain things too, but I just took it a bit further to the point that they wouldn't understand much at all unless they had been taught by someone because to me that made sense really. We'd be confused on another planet if the way they sustained themselves was completely different to food (Banbazoidians inject nutrition into themselves). Human stuff is completely alien to my characters (though they have learned a bit since chapter 1) and if their planet actually existed and wasn't fictional and we went to their planet, we'd be quite lost too. It does take a bit of thought sometimes to work out "wait, would they even know that?" but I don't find it too hard to get in that mindset.
Thanks for reading.
