C has always been interested in Jose Rizal. He has a Jose Rizal T-shirt. He did a report on Jose Rizal for his third grade teacher. He is constantly asking us whether we are "related" to Jose Rizal. Or whether his Lolo "knew" Jose Rizal. It must be some kind of hero worship.
Last Friday, I picked him up from Tae Kwon Do, and he says,
"Mommy, Jose Rizal was called Pepe, right?"
"Right. That was his nickname."
"Why?"
"Because Pepe is short for Jose."
"I think," My son says, "I want you to call me Pepe."
"Really? Not Chewie? Not Choochie? Not Coby Wan Kenobi?"
"No, I want to be called what Joes Rizal was called..."
[beat]
"...except..." he continues after some thought.
"Except what?"
"Except pepe means vagina in Tagalog, right?"
[beat]
"Well, kinda."
"Why did Jose Rizal want to be called vagina?"
"I don't think he did."
[beat]
"On second thought, I don't think I want to be called Pepe."

You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of intoxication with success
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
