Rey's nickname

3 weeks ago, Rey has decided on having his own Hero name.
R: Mummy, from today, you have to call me Michael Rey Hero (flashing a proud grin).
I : Why Michael? (must be from one of the videos). Oh right, why are you a HERO by the way? You are afraid of the dark, right.
R: I fight pirates and save the children! Just like Peter Pan. I can fly in the sky with fairy powder poured on me.
(and he went on fighting, pretending I'm a pirate while he is the hero, poor me)

Till now, I have successfully censored cartoon fighting characters like Power Rangers and Ultraman on TV and even Pikacchu because I didn't think they are educational at all. What he knows are Spiderman and Superman (both printed on his underwears), Disneyland characters like Pinnochio, Peter Pan, Snow white and Alice in the Wonderland.

Sometime later, I casually called "Rey, would you like to have some milk now?" and he turned to say, "It's Michael Rey Hero, remember ok?". All right, he still sticks faithfully to his hero name.

But just recently, I've given him a new nickname, much to his disapproval. It is "3-2". Very simple, he has learned to ignore my calls. Doesn't this happen only from teenage?? It is useless to call him "Rey, come here" because he never comes. Instead, I do a countdown "3-2-1-ZEroooo!!", after which, all the nagging and #%$" will begin. Rey is smart because he had learnt to weigh the consequences of not coming by the count of zero. He runs to me when I call out "3, 2,..." SO I told him I shall call him "3-2" instead of Rey, or Michael Rey Hero.

Rey is holding the sword I have promised him. He looks very satisfied because he is finally a 'real' hero.
