Anagrammed

“Hey, Dad – how did my sister Teresa, get her name?”

“Because your mom loves Easter.”

“I don’t get it.”

“It’s an anagram.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s where you create a word, or a name or sentence using the letters of another word or name.”

“How does it work?”

“For instance ‘silent’ can be rearranged into the word, ‘listen,’ or Clint Eastwood’s name can be rearranged into: ‘Old West Action,’ — but remember, you have to use all the letters.”

“Oh, kind of like a secret code or something.”

“Yeah, you could say that, son.”

“That’s so cool. Thanks, Dad.”

“You’re welcome, Alan.”
