タツノオトシゴ
A seahorse is called “Tatsu no Otoshi go“ in Japanese.
He tried to say it slowly.
“ Tatsu no....”

“Shingo!!!!!!!”

One day my son asked me, "Mom, what is this name?"
The sentence works well with and without the comma after "one day". With longer prepositions such as "one day in the summer" it is best to put a comma after the preposition.
”, and I answered, “oOh, it’s タツノオトシゴ."
When quoting someone in the form: X said/answered _______
it's important to add a comma between "said" or "answered" in order to clearly separate the phrases.
When ending a sentence with a quote, the punctuation (period . or question mark ?) goes inside the quotation marks.
(Aalthough we actually we talked in Japanese though.
Adverbs such as "actually" often sound best when placed directly next to the verb it modifies, in this case "talked".

"..." is standard.

“Shingo“ means “a traffic light” !
The "a" is optional since "shingo" could also mean "the traffic light" or "traffic lights". "traffic light" is more general, but it sounds good either way.

Great story! For this post, I would focus on the rules around quotation marks.
Here's a nice page about it: https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/quotes.asp
I would focus on rules 1 - 4 as they are they most widely used and apply to your post.
Thanks for sharing!

Aaaaaah thank you so much for teaching those rules in detail!
Well, this journal was like my challenge since I’m bad at writing with quotation mark and : mark😅 So I learned a lot!!🙏🏻
That website uses many examples so it really helps! ありがとうございます☺️✨
I bookmarked it so that I can learn anytime 👍🏻
One day my son asked me, “mMom, what is this name?"
”, and I answered, “oOh, it’s タツノオトシゴ."
Alternatively, you could start a new sentence by removing "and" from the beginning of this part.
