So perhaps this isn't exactly the type of situation into which we were supposed to insert our memorized lines, but I feel like this is a Shakespearean story worth telling:
One of the first days into Spring Break, I was at my parents' house in Three Forks. My sister (who is a Freshman here at MSU), myself, and my mother were talking about our semesters. My sister was whining about how in one of her Freshman Seminar classes she had to memorize some lines from Shakespeare (she didn't mention which) and in response, I mention, "Oh, I can do that." And from there I start to recite (or perform if you prefer) the first lines of Sonnet 116 and no more than three or four lines into it my sister stops me and says, "We get it, you're weird." And then they continued their conversation while ignoring me as I finished the sonnet.
