It's "mufti" day at school. For those back in the US of A, this means a day where you don't have to wear the school uniform. (Anyone who knows where this name actually comes from please post us an explanation).

Anyway, there is "gold coin mufti day" and "free mufti day," the difference being that you pay $1 to not wear your uniform on gold coin mufti day. The money usually goes to a good cause.

Today is a free mufti day. It is also a wacky free mufti day, meaning you not only wear street clothes, you can dress up. Kind of like Halloween. Driving to school we passed, early on, a Santa Claus pushing a bicycle, followed by a jester with a big jester hat, and a princess with a very tall crown-like thingy.

Suggestion for boys at Andrew's school was prince/king, and just fortunately we had packed a few costume changes. Again those shipping boxes come in handy! I'd say he makes a fairly convincing knight. Perhaps he is a king slumming as a knight. Perhaps he will attack that threatening one-eyed hoodlum. I'd say you can bet on it.
