There needs to be more, much more. Not sure where you should take this but, there needs to be more.

I was a pretty oblivious child who didn't really cotton on to the fact that my family was poor. As long as I had me my library card and a pile of new books to wade through, it didn't much matter to me that I was clad in much-repaired, much-worn hand-me-downs and all my Christmas presents were from charity shops.
Looking back on it now, my parents were very much like Derpy: trying to keep hidden how hard they had to work to support a family (though they were less accident prone). 
Cheers for the review.
Such a beautiful little story. I enjoyed it.

2036577 That was so sweet! MUSTACHES!
I liked it, but what was the point so splitting some of Derpy's words
it was just distracting.

The splitting is a codification of a speech impediment akin to a stutter - hence the repetition of certain consonants either side of the hyphen. It was meant to be distracting so the reader gets an idea of what her voice sounds like when she talks.

2145963 HOLY SHIT! If that's real, it must've taken forever to curl all that. lol
Such a beautiful story! This deserves more attention!
Mostly liked it, but it's hard to imagine Cheerilee being that mean to Dinky.
Haven't read it but I read the little intro thingie and... I don't know if I can...
Probably one of the first fics post Wonderbolt Academy that I've read that mentions Raindrops being a cadet.

Ugh.... Right in the feels.
I thought I was going to start bawling when Dinky offered Derpy the piggy bank. That isn't something I usually look for in a story, but after reading "Art of the Derp" then this one right after I have to say that the way you portray everyone's favorite walleyed mare have been some of the best I've seen.
Nicely done Scribbler, nicely done.
very cute and touching, scirbbler.
i did feel it drawled a little, but then, i had to read this over a period of days because EVERYTIME i started reading it, someone gives me a reason to get off and not get on again for the rest of the day.
but, i finally finished reading it now and while it wasn't the best derpy dinky fic I've read (the time turner thing made me think of doctor whooves and assistant and it made me wonder if time turner had another reason for letting dinky mow his lawn) it was still nice.
look forward to your next pony tale reading
PS could you PLEASE do a reading of your Farwell ApplDash fic. it really deserves the scribbler treatment, even though, since you wrote it, it kinda already has had the scribbler treatment
This rendition of Derpy is just so touching.
She has so much going against her but she still keeps on pushing for her daughter. It has been done before with other fics, but this one does it just as well as the best of them.
I really am torn on how I feel about the speech impediment. It is another obstacle that gets in her way and makes her struggles all the more interesting and powerful, but I kind of wonder at times if it makes her too pitiful. However, I only get that feeling when I really try to critique your work, but even then I can't really think of anything to support those feelings.
This story was really touching and I shall be perusing your little library for more. Thanks for the good reads!
My heart hurts now.
Owies... I think I'm diabetic now...
This is just beautiful. So bucking beautiful.
I can't even begin to say how close this hits to home. Change the job to teaching and the damages letter to a student loan letter, and I'm dinky.
Bravo... Bravo
The feels tho.
I remember feeling this way...
A touching story, Scribbler. I sense you draw deep into your own well of emotions when you write these. With all that's been going on at home, I can't even imagine the depths at which the well leads.

I reviewed this story as part of Recommended Story Reviews #13.
My review can be found here.
Small typo there but it didn't distract me from enjoying this sweet tale.
Oh Dinky...
!
Such a cute tender moment between Dinky and Derpy
! They don't get enough love, and they need more of it
! Also, very sweet of Dinky to give Derpy back the bits she gave her to pay the bills
