As promised...
The story behind the dandelion pirate!
Like many good stories this begins with a little boy and his stick...
A stick in a boy's hand is destined to be a sword!
ON GUARD!!!
I am Captain Hook!
You mean Captain Dandelion?
Huh? Mama I am Captain Hook not Captain Dandewion, he isn't very tough!
Ohhhh...sorry.
I challenge you to a duel! Do you want to play pirates mama?
Hmmm, not really.
Who will play pirates with me?
Maybe your sister?
Sweet Girls agrees to play but there are some pleasantries that must be attended to before the duel can begin. First they must hug, then bow to each other. The boy pretty much thinks this is all dumb but will endure in order to have a duelling partner!
You must use proper form.
I will make you walk the plank!
The double sword trick...
I will defeat you and feed you to the fishes!
Mama...I think he takes this a little too seriously.
Honey, you should always take boys with their sticks very seriously.
Hubby chuckling in the background..."you have no idea!"
Me...rolling my eyes.
