Today was 'National Talk Like A Pirate day'.
Did ye lasses & ye tweens/teens do anything special?
I made sure that I woke Quinn up by yelling "Land ho! Ahoy matey! Time to jump into Davey Jones Locker! Arrrgh!" Needless to say he was pretty agravated with me. Then when he came into the kitchen, I handed him a mug of hot chocolate & said something like "Drink up ye grog so ye will have ye a merry day! Arrrgh!" He rolled his eyes. When he headed out to school I handed him his wallet & said "Don't forget ye booty!"
Quinn wore a tee-shirt with a pirate skull on it to school & didn't get into any trouble because it had 2 swords on it too. When he walked in the door from school I yell out "Ahoy ye scurvy dog! How was ye day?!" I also sent him an emailed gift card from I-Tunes with some pirate talk on it. I signed it 'Cutlass Mom'.
On the way to the skatepark, I turned the a/c on full blast & yelled out "Shiver me timbers!!!"
I have to admit that I got a little carried away a few times. Especially during supper. He told me that I was giving him a headache. LOL! Well, at least I had fun! I think that he enjoyed it too, but he's not as good at pirate talk as I so I outdid him.

Did you happen to catch the season premiere of Wife Swap Monday night where they featured the pirate family? They were the cofounders of Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Aww, I didn't know about Pirate day, but I would have annoyed the heck out of my boys and dh! LOL! I was also going to ask if you caught the wife swap show the other night, the pirate family was hilarious! Sounds like you had a lot of fun and you are really good at the pirate talk!
