'Tis the Day to Speak Thusly

Today is The Bard's birthday, and thus I, instructor and tutor for mine children, have decreed that we shall speak as such all day.  Also, all young ladies must wear appropriate clothing for their fair sex (in other words, frocks and not clothing such as young men would wear).  

We shall also celebrate by reading Shakespeare in the park, methinks.  Perhaps reciting "The Comedy of Errors" would give us great pleasure.

Besides, it's OFFICIALLY A HOLIDAY!

Here, see what fun you can have?

Weekends With Will, Part III

We're into the third Shakespeare play now - "Romeo and Juliet" - and the girls insist that I need to be Juliet to Travel Man's Romeo.  Who am I to argue?  Every girl wants to be Juliet and do that balcony scene, right?

If you've never experienced the love of your life reading those lines to you, ladies, I recommend it highly.  To stray a bit from my straight-laced image (*cough!* HA!), let me say this: it is practically an aphrodisiac!  WHOO!

So, anyhow...

The next time we pick up the play, I say, "Hey, let's go back and do the balcony scene again before we do the next part.  Okay?"

Big Girl was pretty blunt.  "Mommy, it's not all about the balcony scene.  You need to move on."
