I am a Janeite
I admit it. I love everything Jane Austen. She was a literary genius!! I remember reading Pride and Prejudice when I was in the 9th grade and I have been in love ever since. My mom and I would watch the old movie, with Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson. When the BBC version came out on A&E, we watched the miniseries, and bought the DVD when it came out. And though it isn’t as true to the story as the BBC version, the most recent Keira Knightly one is my favorite. I watch it probably once a month.
But I haven’t actually read the book since the 9th grade. And I don’t think I have read any other Austen books in at least 10 years. So I am going to read all of her novels, and try to read her other short stories, so feel free to join me and maybe we can discuss which one of her works os her masterpiece. Though I think we can safely say right now it’s Pride and Prejudice.

Oh, one of THOSE kids…
Do your kids have friends who say inappropriate things, tell your kids things you don’t want them to know, teach them words they shouldn’t say?
I realized today, to my horror, my son might be one of those kids.
He had a little friend over today after preschool, and over their corndogs, Ethan starts telling his friend about a scary movie we have called “Sleepy Hollow” where the bad guy chops off people’s heads. I say, “Ethan, let’s not talk about movies like that.” and still Ethan continues to detail for his 4 year old friend how the guy on the horse chases people and chops off their heads.
After lunch, Ethan’s friend asks where the bathroom is, and Ethan asks what EXACTLY he has to do in there (“do you have to pee or poop?”). I have to remind him that it’s bad manners to ask someone that.
And I just heard him say crap. I don’t know where he gets it.
So if you ever ask Ethan over to your house to play, and your kids start talking about gory movies or saying the word crap, I apologize.
