Of Túrin Turambar

Today we read the depressing chapter Of Túrin Turambar in the Silmarillion.

8YO: “What?!! Lembas!”
My wife: “Do you remember it?”
8YO: “Yes! In the Lord of the Rings in Lothlórien they were given it!”
6YO: “Gimli thought it was cram.”
8YO: “And Frodo and Sam practically lived off it.”
The Orcs though that a storm “was sent against them by the great Enemies beyond the Sea.”
8YO: “The Valar!”
When Glaurung sets up his abode in Nargothrond.
8YO: “That’s what dragons do, they put all their treasure into a huge pile and sleep on it.”
“…but all her heart was given to Turumbar.”
6YO: “They’re not allowed to marry!!”
