Last night we read Julius Caesar aloud. During Act II, several of Ammo's friends called; they were outside the house on a cell phone and wanted him to go out. He told them he didn't want to, that we were having family time. (He didn't say we were reading Shakespeare). Dan and I later laughed in some bemusement about a 16 year old making a choice like this.

But we have so much fun with it. I have a very old edition of his works- and there are discrepancies between my copy and the two more recent ones Dan and AMmo were using. For instance I was reading Lucius, the servant, and I read, "My Lord,(or whatever) 14 days of March have expired." ANd Dan said, "THat's an important line. WOuld you like to reread it?" So I read it with more passion, though I didn't know why. And he said, "Read it again." ANd I shouted dramatically and leaped from the couch waving my arms around. (Alarum!)
It turned out that his and AMmo's copies said, "Fifteen days have expired." They just thought I couldn't read.

Then in some place, Caesar says something about "moe friends" which got us off reading in jive for a while.

It was really a wonderful time, though a maybe intellectually dubious approach.
