Did you know that letters and numbers are people too?

"O is a boy," Apollo said last night while I was helping him write his report on Alligators.
"What?" Who is O and what has this got to do with alligators?
"O is a boy," he repeated, and then pointed to his paper, "and A is a girl."
And immediately I knew what he was talking about. I couldn't help but get a little excited. All my life numbers have lived a secret life inside my head--5's were jolly fat men with top hats and 4's were their cranky, skinny wives; 3's were their precocious naked toddlers and they lived in the number 20; 1 was a skinny old wrinkly man; 0 was a magician; 7 was a rebellious teenager that grew up to be the wise and noble 49; 8 was a sexy lady of course, though 64 smelled like lipstick and carried a patent leather handbag...well, you get the idea.
However, I have never anthromorphized letters. So I was very interested.
"Why is O a boy?"
"Because he's just plain, and a has a ponytail."
Makes sense to me.
He went on...S's are snakes (of course), B's are butterflies....
t's are dads, standing with their arms out...e's are talking with their mouths open....y's are swimmers--straight body with one arm out doing a stroke...p's are swimming too, but they are just bobbing in the water...and my favorite, k's are kissing with the < being the lips doing the kissing.
I think there were more but I can't remember them all. I was just excited that someone finally gets my way of thinking. Or at least admits it out loud.
