One day, RedSox was talking to Spike.  Spike was talking in third person, so RedSox started talking in third person also. 

This is what a conversation sounds like when RedSox and Spike are talking in third person:

RedSox: Spike, how are you?

Spike: Spike is doing well.  How is RedSox doing?

RedSox: RedSox is doing well also.  What is Spike doing for tribe time?

Spike: Spike is shooting archery.  What is RedSox doing for tribe time?

RedSox: RedSox is going to the lower initiative course.  RedSox has to go.  Bye!

Spike: Bye!

Later, RedSox and our tribe went to the lower initiative course.  It was sooooo cool because it was my first time going.  We were at the tire swing when we realized that RedSox was talking in third person again.  Skittlez (the ATL) jokingly began to speak in third person along with RedSox.  After that, the whole tribe began to talk in third person!

RedSox got and Skittlez got tired of the game, which was funny!  They made up a silly “punishment” like going to bed early so we would stop.  It worked.  At the end of the trip to the lower initiative course, I–I mean, Sarah–spoke in the third person until we got back to the cabin!
