Email just received from my brother about my nephew:

Hey bud, what are you reading?

Oh, just a book…

Yes, I see that, what book?

Romeo and Juliet…

Oh, that’s nice… WAIT, WHAT???


Nephew is nine, by the way ...

(It's not the original play; it's an adaptation for youth. Still ... )

Wait a minute - that Shakespeare dude has plagiarized from ANOTHER movie? This time it's West Side Story.

Yeah, some people just have NO scruples ...

Sis and I were joking "What's next, Tolstoy??"

And brother responds: "Um… Its not the next book/author/playwright that worries me…"



*WHOOSH* Like an airplane, that particular aspect of it went right over my head ...

I should add that brother does read; he just doesn't read any fiction at all. A lot of what he reads (AFAIK) is financial stuff.

Probably a good thing it's an adaptation for youth. Romeo and Juliet has a lot of adult themes.
