There once was a fair maiden...named Mom?!

* while reading "The Knight at Dawn" by Mary Pope Osborne *

Brady: "Who art thou? said the one with the red face.

* pause *

Brady: Mom, what does that mean?

Mom: It's a way of saying who are you.  That's how they talked in the old days.  It's called old English.

Brady: Did you used to talk like that when you were a little girl?

Mom: No.  * laughing *
