It happened to me: godsdammit PTerry.

I've read all the books. Multiple times. I'd like to think that I got all of the obvious puns. At this point, it should only be the really obscure ones that I haven't gotten yet.

And then he hits me with "Wen the Eternally Surprised."

All because my kid (7) asks me, "Is 'when' spelled W-E-N?"

Wen the Eternally Surprised. Is pronounced 'When'. Which is a pun because he's a major figure involving Time. I even pronounce his name as "when" in my head, and not once did I ever make the connection.

Moral of the story: beware, dear reader, because *it could happen to you.*

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to lock myself in a cupboard and read the books again...
