Egyptian writing

The BB is struggling a bit with his writing (it's only kindergarten, but they say it's the new first grade).  He's frustrated that he can't make his writing look right.  So, among his many inventions to deflect any issues that come up in school, he claims that he is writing Egyptian when no one else can decipher it.  His imaginary friend, Wing, a cobra, can of course read it.  Likewise, most of his narratives about school involve an elaborate imaginary soccer game that include his fellow students, other classes, and sometimes even his teachers.  He'd rather "make it up," and that's OK with me.  Most five year olds aren't good at remembering a whole day at school anyway.
