Ethan's Sign

Yesterday, Ethan was playing upstairs and when I went to check on him, I found this sign he had written on his magna-doodle (This is exactly what he wrote):

TODAY is m______.
RYOU AVRRaBUDee is go
/// green.

(///=scribbles, unable to read and the 's' are written backwards)

I asked him what this means. His Translation:

Today is monday. (he didn't know how to spell monday, he just knew it started with 'm')
Are you everybody is going
to be green.

My two cents:
he was writing a morning message to his pretend class (like his teacher does).
The 'are you everybody' part is that he couldn't decide if he was going to ask a question or make a statement. "are you going to be green?" or "Everybody is going to be green."
The scribbles are because he messed up 'to be', he didn't like how he wrote it so he scribbled over it and didn't re-write it. And the 'green' because if you are good in class you get a green card when you're bad you get red.
