5. A Chaucer reference! Nancy makes note that she learned to read Middle English, as she read Chaucer. I was amazed at this.

The other quirky element I wanted to mention was Salty, who I dearly wish we see again, and his clam song. I think I actually giggled when I read his lyrics. Something about a door-to-door clam salesman does make me wonder about product safety...

Were there any elements that surprised you or made you giggle? #NancyDrewBR

Bookwormjillk The Chaucer thing definitely made me laugh. 2d
CogsOfEncouragement This might not be exactly what you are looking for, but the “lucky we wore jeans” is really something. The Hardy Boys get to wear pants for every adventure. Nancy, George, and Bess are usually doing all this in skirts, hosiery, and possibly kitten heels. 2d
BarkingMadRead I loved Salty! I also loved the secret clue in the castle, very creative! 2d

dabbe As someone who taught a few of the CANTERBURY TALES to my sophomore honors students, not ONE of them became an avid reader of Middle English, so I really had to suspend my disbelief on that one.

The fake Juliana is exposed because her feet are too big, like Cinderella's stepsisters. Nancy literally stares at the woman‘s shoes to solve the case: no DNA tests, just “Nope, those feet are definitely not ballet material!“ 😂

DGRachel I‘d forgotten about the jeans conversation, but I did laugh at that. I just remember thinking “of course she translates Middle English” 🙄. Random side note, for one of the requirements for my English Lit degree I had to choose between Shakespeare Studies or an entire semester spent reading Chaucer in Middle English. I chose Shakespeare and have never regretted that decision. 😂 1d
DGRachel @Librarybelle product safety! 😂😂 1d
DebinHawaii Yes, I worried about the safety of eating those mollusks quite a lot even while appreciating Salty. And of course Nancy studies Middle English! (Do you think she can tap dance it out too?) 🤪 6h
kwmg40 Nancy knowing how to read Middle English did seem amazing. That girl can do anything! 5h

@Deblovestoread (😘 for the tag!)
Sadly, this 34-count felon will get away with this, too. He's already
-evaded accountability for election interference and classified documents cases;
-exploited presidential immunity and expanded his executive power;
-gutted federal agencies and norms without repercussions;
-enriched himself and allies through unchecked corruption ... just to name a few.

This #cheetosatan is despicable. #ranttime

Interesting to note the definition of posterity: to preserve something for ALL future generations. ALL. Everyone. All of us. Not you vs. me. All. This is something this current administration clearly does NOT understand or care about. #ranttime

TBH, I got “posterity“ confused with “progeny“. When I looked up the definition, my brain practically imploded. I wish every American would read this document and the Declaration of Independence to remind ourselves what this country was truly founded on. (minus the topic of slavery being horrifically left out, of course).

#WDNCW that we don‘t celebrate the 4th. We never really have…Autistic child that hates fireworks. Also I do not feel very festive. I do not want to celebrate our forefathers (that came from immigrant families) as we are a nation of immigrants & we are currently deporting immigrants. None of the signers of the Declaration of Independence are Indigenous. Plus that the oppression & exploitation of others was used to build this country. No thanks

CBee I feel you on all of this. I‘m going to try fireworks again with J and have his headphones on. We‘ll see. We‘ve avoided it the past few years for sure, but it‘s just us doing it so not one of the big shows (which I wouldn‘t want to go to anyway). Basically doing fireworks because we like them - not so much to celebrate. 1mo
dabbe #truth Thanks for speaking your heart's truth. Hugs to your child, too. 💙✊🏻💙 1mo
