But alas none of them will do and they realize they must take matters much further. Cecil must change his name for good. They decide to change it to something legendary, something cool, something without any "esses," something like... Michael Jordan!After school Cecil's grandmother, Peggy (Mary Alfred Thoma), takes Cecil and Abby to the local grocery store and convinces them that he can legally change his name there. Upon further investigation they find out that in order for the teachers to stop calling him Cecil, they must sneak into the principal's office and change the name within the database.
