My first name is not always so easy to pronounce for the kids...
Its ALAWADA...sounds just like its spelled...
So I invite 1 person up to tell my middle name since its always the magic word...but its a secret because everytime I tell someone they laugh at me...so I tell the secret middle name to 1 child and I position myself so that it appears as though I'm whispering it to them but in reality I'm saying it loud enough for everyone to hear....
everyone hears it...starts laughing...I pretend as if I said it in a low voice...And the person sits back down...after I confirm that its a bonafide secret between us two...I ask everyone for the magic words (usually during the coloring book) and they scream out my middle name which is boom-shaka-laka...always said with a wiggle and a twist...I look at the person (usually the birthday child) as if I'm shocked because they gave away our secret....My promise to the kids is next time I'll say it LOUDER so NOONE will hear it...
They love it...
Kleanthis...I love the delayed question...I may have to borrow that one
