In romeo and Juliet what did the nurses husband say when baby Juliet fell over and why does the nurse find this amusing?

Answer 1

When the baby Juliet falls over the nurses husband says: "dost thou fall upon thy face?

Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit;

Wilt thou not, Jule?" Which basically translated means: "did you fall on your face?

You will fall backwards when you are wiser;

Won't you, Jule?"

Answer 2

when baby Juliet falls on her face the nurse's husband asks her if when she is older will she fall on her back, this implies (sex, like most shakespere) that when she is of age Juliet will lay on her back easily to let men have their way with her. Juliet is said to have agreed and run off. The nurse finds this funny because it is not the sort of thing a young girl should agree to

Answer 3

Her daughter Susan in "with God" so she's dead. So is the husband, because she says "A was a merry man"--"was", not "is".
