The Tale Has Gone Down Into Legend
(My family is attending a live outdoor performance where actors play roles from Arthurian myth in a silly way. One character makes a mildly bawdy joke.)
Younger Brother: *nice and loud; the kid has NO filter* “Daddy, what does that mean?”
Dad: *also loud: it comes naturally* “I’ll tell you later, son.”
(A few people chuckle, the show goes on, and we think that’s it. Next year we are back, same show, same cast.)
King Arthur: “Sir Lancelot! Guard Queen Guinevere as though she were your own love!”
(The audience has a good laugh at this.)
King Arthur: “Wait, what is happening? Why are you all laughing? Merlin! What does this mean?”
Merlin: “I shall tell thee later, sire.”
(My family missed the next few lines because we were laughing too hard. No idea if it was just a coincidence or if they actually remembered us, but it definitely made our day!)
