4th Hour

My 4th hour is rambunctious. Read the following sentence, then the ensuing discussion:

"William Shakespeare was born April, 1564. Church records show he was baptized April 26, so we can estimated his date of birth was April 23, as baptisms were done within a few days of being born."

Mrs E.: "Okay, remember you need to write down three important points per paragraph. We've done two, so the third I would recommend is the date of baptism. Why is that important?"

Student A: "Baptisms are done a year after you're born, so he's born April 1565."

Mrs E.: "No, what does the sentence say?"

Student B: "My grandpa was baptized when he was 95! At least I think he was 95, he's really old."

Student C: "Mrs. E have you been baptized?"

Mrs. E.: "Yes, but..."

Student A: "OH! It's says a few days after!"

Student D: "Was William Shakespeare the guy who was locked in the closet and had to eat pie so he named it pie?"

Mrs. E: "What?!"

Student D: "The guy who ate pie. He named it. It's this guy who was locked away for years and ate pie."

Student B: "So we write that William Shakespeare named pie for letter C?"

Mrs. E: "Whoa, definitely not. Don't write that. He didn't name pie."

Student D: "Who is that guy then? They locked him away and he ate pie all the time."

So if anyone knows who ate pie in a closet and named it, that'd be great. I have no idea how this got thrown into the conversation. I googled it, but who knows where they got that idea. They are all over the place...
