A few days ago Mr. 3 decided he was a wizard. He went about is his wizard attire, complete with wizard hat, binoculars, two swords, and Mardi gras beads. And he insisted we call him "the wizard". Then yesterday he added a crown to his costume and became the king of wizards. And had spells for anything I asked him (including making me invisible at one point).
Tonight he told me he had a secret wizard name that he would write down for me in a secret code. I looked at his "code" for quite some time, guessed once or twice, and asked for a hint. He told me it starts with H. I guessed random H-words which he said no to until I guessed Herman. He told me that "yes, his wizard name was Herman". Really? Yes.
Then he started making wizard names in code for each of us. Since guessing was difficult, I asked him to spell it. Our names were all rather unique - mine was Saretvy (I did insist he use a few vowels - he recently learned that vowels are a, e, u and sometimes y - we're still working on it) and Mr. 9's was Ahstrumzy (Mr. 9 wanted another letter but Mr. 3 said no - I suggested he get it for his 10th birthday and they thought that was very funny). So now we're all wizards - at least for the night.
Hilarious!
