We were driving along in the car and Michaela and Christian started this strange game of making up names for themselves..."I'll be..."  They started out with different street names in our area:  Hillcrest, Dickens, Rosedale.  Then out of the blue Michaela said,"You be Grendel!" 

Yes, as in the terrible monster in the very old Old English epic poem. 

Christian responded with,"How about I'll be Barefoot?"

Michaela said, without skipping a beat,"Do you mean Beowulf?"

Of course Christian said,"Yes."

What can I say?  We read the classics around here...
