This morning, during calendar time, I called on Alex to answer a question.
Out of no where- he looked at me, very seriously, and said, "That is NOT my name."
"Oh, okay," I replied, "Is your name Andy today?" (Alex has a twin named Andy and they accidently brought in each other's back packs today... so I was thinking maybe he was just going to be silly and go by Andy.)
"NO. it's Mossimo."
"Really? Huh. Okay, well Mossimo, do you know the answer?"
"yes I do. Thank you."
Throughout the day, if I forgot and called him "Alex," he would look at me and say, "MRS. SAWYER- did you forget my name???"
Oh man. What a day. Of course, this made all the kids want to change their name to things like blank speed, speed racer, blank line, Moximosh, and who knows what else. I gave up. Not enough caffeine in the word to help me remember that many names.
