Magic Shake-Ball


Question for Magic Shake-Ball:

First of all, Happy Hannukah! I have a holiday-related question. Does it spoil kids to give them a present for each of the eight nights?

Magic Shake-Ball's Response:
Therefore thy earliness doth me assure
Thou art up-roused by some distemperature;
Or if not so, then here I hit it right,
Our Romeo hath not been in bed to-night.
(Friar Laurence to Romeo, 2.3.39-42)



Interpretation:

OK, I get it. This is a "chill out, lady" piece of advice. As in, I should have real problems to worry about---like my kids having a midnight romp with the children of people we hate.
