"You do not understand!" said Pippin. "You must go - and therefore we must, too. Merry and I are coming with you. Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon's throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet; but you will need more than one companion on your dangerous adventure."
In other words, yes. I would like to, myself, conspiracy and all.
Besides...you NEED people of intelligence on this party.
ANNOUNCEMENT : WE ARE GOING TO HOMESCHOOL YAY!!!
Congratulations! Hope you and your daughter enjoy it as much as I did!
congratulations on your upcoming adventure. You will not regret your decision.
