Beginning of Act II Sc. III Two Gentlemen of Verona
By Shakespeare (Perhaps you can find a more modern version but this is hilarious.)
Enter LAUNCE, leading a dog
LAUNCE
Nay, 'twill be this hour ere I have done weeping;
all the kind of the Launces have this very fault. I
have received my proportion, like the prodigious
son, and am going with Sir Proteus to the Imperial's
court.
I think Crab, my dog, be the sourest-natured
dog that lives: my mother weeping, my father
wailing, my sister crying, our maid howling, our cat
wringing her hands, and all our house in a great
perplexity, yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed
one tear:
he is a stone, a very pebble stone, and
has no more pity in him than a dog: a Jew would have
wept to have seen our parting; why, my grandam,
having no eyes, look you, wept herself blind at my
parting.
Nay, I'll show you the manner of it. This
shoe is my father: no, this left shoe is my father:
no, no, this left shoe is my mother: nay, that
cannot be so neither: yes, it is so, it is so, it
hath the worser sole.
This shoe, with the hole in
it, is my mother, and this my father; a vengeance
on't! there 'tis: now, sit, this staff is my
sister, for, look you, she is as white as a lily and
as small as a wand: this hat is Nan, our maid: I
am the dog: no, the dog is himself, and I am the
dog--Oh! the dog is me, and I am myself; ay, so,
so.
Now come I to my father; Father, your blessing:
now should not the shoe speak a word for weeping:
now should I kiss my father; well, he weeps on. Now
come I to my mother: O, that she could speak now
like a wood woman!
Well, I kiss her; why, there
'tis; here's my mother's breath up and down. Now
come I to my sister; mark the moan she makes. Now
the dog all this while sheds not a tear nor speaks a
word; but see how I lay the dust with my tears.

i'm unsure if I trust Lizzi as a results of fact my mom continuously advised me that what belongs to somebody, belongs to them, you may no longer take childrens issues away. You, despite the fact that ARE the determine, and he or she is basically 9! i does no longer enable sleep overs considering the fact that she did this piercing by utilising herself. you may examine to make optimistic it is not contaminated* If she replaced into my baby i could take it out. Make a itemizing of regulations that she is envisioned to stick to and positioned up them interior the domicile. tell her "I rather have made those regulations as a results of fact we've not had sparkling communique approximately what you're allowed to be doing at 9 years previous" you may positioned issues like No cursing, etc. on it. And if she does stuff like this now, think of how no longer undemanding it extremely is going to likely be to regulate her whilst she is a teenager. Her friends additionally are curiously influencing her. consult from a instructor at college to confirm how her techniques-set has been there, and consult from her friends mum and dad. the mummy at her friends could be in charge for this piercing.

Braveheart freedom speech:
"Fight and you may die, run and you'll live.
At least a while.
And dying in your beds many years from now,
would you be willing to trade all the days
from this day to that for one chance,
just one chance to come back here
and tell our enemies that they may take our lives,
but they'll never take our freedom!"
