Crackerjack: I wish I had seen Robin Hood.
Me: You mean the Disney movie - the one with the fox? We've seen that before.
CJ: No, no. I mean I wish I had seen Robin Hood. You know, in real life? I'm not always talking about cartoons, Mama.
Bookworm: I don't know if you'd have wanted to live back then. There were several dangers.
CJ: Like what?
BW: Well, for instance the plague and ... um, then there was Prince John walking around taking everyone's money.
CJ: Well, sheesh! Don't you know how fast I am at running? Even his knights couldn't catch me!
BW: Well, it would take strategy. You'd need to know which houses he had been to and which ones he still had to collect from so you'd know where was safe.
Me: Do you think Robin Hood worked that way?
BW: Yeah. Probably. I'm not sure.
Middle Ages here we come!
