A Pirate's Life
The kids were playing pirates the other day...
SON: "C'mon, let's board the Spanish ship and steal their loot!"
DAUGHTER: "I don't want to be a pirate. They were bad guys."
SON: "No, we're privateers. We have permission from Queen Elizabeth, so it's okay."
This is a reflection of my son's studies of England's Elizabethan Age and, more likely, an increasing excitement for the opening of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie this week.
Oh yes, we'll be there opening weekend. With empty bladders, as the film is almost three hours long.
And let's not forget the new CBS reality series Pirate Master premiering next week.
Arrrr, 'tis good to be a pirate. Errr, I mean privateer.

Sounds like Robert Louis Stevenson is in your son's near-future.
I've told my son again and again that, in reality, pirates weren't all as polite as Jack Sparrow. He assures me that the pirates he invites into our house to play are 'nice'.
Clare's Mom is taking Friday off and we're going to the movie. We don't think Clare's old enough for the pirates yet.
Same here, just saw the movie this morning!!! ARrrrrr
