Bottom Jokes


Bottom Jokes


Well, somehow our dinner discussion of Act 1, Scene 2 turned into a back and forth exchange of fart jokes in verse between my husband and son. I think we were discussing poetry.

Today, we

1.    Listened to another movement from Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream
2.    I found some character flash cards online (there are flashcards for everything) and Emery cut out quotes that described each character we’ve met so far in the play. I then had him attach these to a posterboard, but we ran out of paste and tape, so we’ll have to finish tomorrow.
3.    Read Act 1, Scene 2, which was quite funny. Emery played Quince and Victor did a nice Bottom.
4.    Watched scene from 1935 film.

This was a fun day. I’m sure Emery didn’t get all of the historical references of the jokes, but he did get the overall humor of the scene.

On a related note, when your child has an activity on your campus, do you go to the office to work while he or she is involved in the activity?
