My history teacher recently challenged us to take this paragraph:

Laffes, your Mother asked you to make some forced eggs. Use ye wee Pipkin and make sure that ye Beggar's Velvet are taken care of before you go to ye Dance. Pick some Sallats for your Pottage.

and translate it from that into modern english. That's the language that the colonial era settlers and english speaking peoples would have used. So. Who thinks they can do it and do it correctly?

Post your translations here and I'll PM you if you're right, but don't tell anybody! I'd like to keep the answer secret for a few days, just to see how many people get it right.
 
Laffes (I guess is the persons name?), your mom asked you to makes some scrambled eggs. Use the (something lol) and make sure you do the laundry before going to the dance. Get some ingrediants for your recipe also.

Nope. Close in spots, but still nope.
 


Laffes, your mom asked you to make some beated eggs and use your small pumpkin. And make sure that your clothes are put away before you leave.
Pick some seasoning for your oatmeal on the way.

Hey person (laffes is like a term of expression), Your mom asked you to make some scrambled eggs, use your cooking pot and make sure that your maids clothes are washed before you go to your dance, Pick some vegtables for the stew
 
Son, your mother asked you to cook some eggs. Use your napkin and make sure the dirty laundry is taken care of before you go to the dance. Pick some vegetables for your food.

Haha. That was way off.

Getting there. Very close.
