Okay, so there I was, sitting on the couch doing schoolwork. Out of the hall marches Jason. He is swathed in scarves. He stops and poses before me smiling. I blink. 'I am a Roman Senator' he announces and marches off back down the hall. Then here comes Xander, also swathed in scarves. 'I am a Roman Senator too!'
'I guessed' I replied, 'What is your name?'
'Julius Ceasar' and off he marches.
I sit there blinking. Here comes Jason. He looks sad.
'I need a name too!' he tells me.
'Umm... how about Cicero?' (Now WHY did I suggest that?!)
Sunshine fills his face. 'CICERO! YEA!' and off he goes.
That evening, I tell Tom the story. He looks at me solemnly.
'Didn't Ceasar conquer Egypt too?'
' Well, yeah, I guess, sort of' I respond decisively.
He walks away, shaking his head and muttering 'This is getting spooky!'
