Recently, Scott and I were talking about Hamlet at the dinner table (I’m teaching it this year) when my first-grader suddenly entered the conversation.
“What’s Hamlet?” he asked.
“It’s a play,” I said. “A play by William Shakespeare.”
“Is it about a hammer that gets totally out-of-control and smashes everything in sight and nothing will stop it?” he asked.
I love seven-year-olds.
It may not be about a hammer but things certainly do get out-of-control. 😉
Thanks for sharing this one!
So true, Viki. In fact, there might be less carnage in Matthew’s version than in the real one!
