Back in June, after supper, Cap’n Skunkbeard (my 4 year old son) ordered me out into the freezing cold of the garden to play at pirates. As Sea Salt Sally I persuaded him that I needed to sort out all the messy green ‘ropes’ on the sides of the ship so that we were prepared for any battles – so that got a bit of weeding done. Then I convinced him that Cap’n Skunkbeard would need a portrait so that his enemies could see what a fierce pirate he is, so he allowed me to retire from deck duties to carry out my other duties as the ship’s artist.

Reason #2
I talk like a pirate on Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Aarrr, matey!
'Tis true, 'tis true. September 19 every year'll find me droppin' vowels and consonants, "Aaarrr-ing" away, and usin' words like "ye", "me hearties", and "landlubbers" ---which I have to admit is just a plain fun word t' say at any time. . . go ahead an' try 't.
And one simply canna talk like a pirate without hunchin' over and makin' piratey facial expressions, so it's a fun day, all around.
"Silly" close to the surface? You betcha. Another reason I'm suited to writing for children.
Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Just so we're clear on this, pirates say, "ARRRR!" They only say "ARRRGH" when they're run through with a cutlass. :)
BTW: Josh, you're a card. You should be dealt with.
Extremely funny!
