Reading to Joshua's friends

Yep, the old lady with reading glasses is me. The other night I was reading "The Return of the King" to Joshua. He wanted me to read to his friends, so he lined up all of his stuffed animals on the chair around me. I think they enjoyed the story too. We were right at the gory part where the orcs have all killed each other in the tower of Cirith Ungol and Sam and Frodo are escaping. I do a little self-censoring as I read it to Joshua. Reading this book to a 6 year-old is a little different than reading it to oneself.
