How I Became a Pirate

A glimpse into my morning conversations: 

Everett: "Hey... I just noticed that you're a big person and you have small ears. They're small. And you're big. That's funny."



We went on a field trip today to go see a locally performed musical, "How I Became a Pirate." It was really cute, and the kids were fairly good audience members, except for the part when Presley was crying loudly because Abbie pinched her fingers or something. Then she sat in my lap for the rest of the performance.

After the show, we stayed at the center and played on the playground for a bit while we waited for the bus. There is a giant sculpture of a sea monster that spans the entire playground, and you can climb all over it. As a child, I would have been absolutely enthralled with it. I kind of was as an adult. At one point I heard Johnny yelling my name, and looked over to find this: 

He was literally stuck on the tip of the sea monster's tail. And yes, I stopped to take a picture before I helped him down.
