And the fact you can memorize and would memorize would make you prize students in my class. I would pile on and pile on because the number one killer of any play is the fact the actors don't know their lines.

I find it easy to memorize lines, especially if they're good lines, and I have someone to bounce off of. I still remember scraps of the stuff I memorized for Shakespeare class, but the scenes with other people were easier than the monologues by a long shot.

Matthew (my 6yo) is the same way! He will memorize an entire commercial the first time he hears it and then recite it to me at the store! It's really funny...once, when he was five, we were walking down the cereal aisle and he said something like "I want to experience the chocolatey-peanuty burst of flavor from Reeses Puffs!"

So after much consideration, I let him try out for The King and I. We should find out whether or not he got a part today or tomorrow.

I have the entire "Princess Bride" and numerous Monty Python skits memorized. Does that count?
