Dude. Stacey is so the Wife of Bath, with her lusty ways and 5 husbands, always on the lookout for the next Mr. Right.

.....oh my god. If I still had my babysitters club books, this is TOTALLY what I would do my term paper in The Poetry of Chaucer on.

Considering how everyone's horndog in Canterbury Tales, Stacey could also be the Friar, the Monk, the Prioress, the Squire, etc.

...at least, according to my 11th grade English teacher.

My 12th grade self thanks you for making my Modern English translation of Canterbury Tales much more interesting!

Ha. Try reading it in Middle English. It makes it even more "fun."

You know, the sad part is that I DID want to read it in Middle English. We were told to go buy this particular version (why it mattered as long as long as it was a modern translation I'll never know) and I got and was all WHAT WHAT WHERE'S THE DIFFICULTY AND CONFUSION?

Obviously, my mom reading original translations of literal from a similar era totally messed me up :)

I read part of the Canterbury Tales in Modern English while having a tattoo done on my back, does that make me more cool, less cool, or just very strange?
