So they just couldn’t pick one out of the air? Maybe he ought to ask his dad why always the number 5. He was kinda hoping to just pick 10. Because its easy to remember and hello its in his name.

And they actually have to crunch numbers. That’s always come easy to his dad, but since this curly top didn’t have to do much arithmetic in his life thus far he doesn’t really know how good he can be. Except that he still counts with his fingers. Always.

So was that how they did the Family number thing? It looked.... Simple enough? Yeah he can do that. So grab the book and do that maths. Here we go:

S A L A N D E R
1+1+3+1+5+4+5+9 = 29
2+9 = 11
1+1 = 2

So he got a 2? He turned to his textbook and read up what it means:

Wow... This says that he is very peaceful and loving. Hmmm..... Well he liked peace but he sure didn’t shy away from the action. He likes to collect things though that much was true. But yeah... Kinda not him? But wait he was a Salander. DOES THAT MEAN HE"S NOT A SALANDER???

Cue internal panic.

But as he glanced down the page he spotted an 11. Wait HE had an 11 too. Did that count or?....

He kept reading anyway:

Now THAT sounds more like him. And his dad. Uplift, encourage and inspire others? Check check and check! He don’t know much about the spiritual living part (have they met his dad? Pfffft). But his blue-green eyes stayed on the last part of the paragraph: You will learn from life through many tests that illuminate certain universal truths.

Huh. The Sorting Hat said the same thing to him.

Spooky. Cue X-Files theme.
