    Heh. The promise of using bad words with impunity will get them every time. Just wait till she discovers Chaucer!

    Looks like Val’s cooking. I fear more bad words coming.

    I was hooked from the moment I read Hamlet! (anyone see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead?)

    Forsooth! Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.

    Holly just might have found a pastime to rival basketball. And given she’s already a drama queen, who knows where this might go.

    In the book “Babe the Gallant Pig”, which my fourth graders read and loved every year, Fly is referred to as “the collie bitch”. I had to spend fifteen minutes every year explaining that one before we started reading!

    I like reading Shakespeare, too.

    When I took a class on Chaucer in grad school, we had a teacher who must had Asperger’s or something. He acted very nervous, and spoke so softly that we had to shut the classroom door, sit as close to him as possible, cup our ears, and lean forward. We read some of Chaucer aloud, with as close as possible to the original Middle English accents, and I had to read a passage that nearly gave him the vapors. Chaucer was no slouch when compared to Shakespeare.
