Some of the best times we had when the kids were teenagers were rewatching Lord of The Rings movies, or any other really, and commenting on which spells/feats/skills the characters were using and what they could have done or should be doing next and I distinctly remember the phrase “feast on their bloody corpses” in there somewhere, probably from the youngest 🙂
This comic strip reminds me so much of our house, in more ways than one 🙂
I can’t wait to watch the LotR movies with Xena. We just finished The Hobbit and I wasn’t sure if she’d want me to read LotR to her, but she was very excited to learn there were “more books about the hobbits” so we’ve recently started Fellowship!
And I’m really glad I can bring back good family memories ^_^
Our oldest took The Hobbit to school around grade four or so for his ‘quiet time book’ and used the ‘brown beer’ poem when everyone had to memorize one to recite.
When our youngest was in about the same grade I got a call from his teacher saying he’d brought an ‘inappropriate’ book to school for his ‘quiet time’ one…Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy…I agreed with her, not because it was above the class level so therefore ‘inappropriate’ compared to the others, wich wasa her concern, but because he’d read it more then once already so he took another one, I can’t remember which one but I think it was Harry Harrison’s ‘Deathworld Trilogy’ one of my favourites 🙂

It was one of the Downton Abbey movies! Xena came in at the very end after school XD
