Ahoy ye skurvy dogs and bilge rats!!! Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day mateys!!!
For the last 4 years or so, it's been a favorite day of mine! Today is the day you get to swashbuckle, and plunder and kidnap, well...maybe not kidnap, but you get the picture.
Today is the day my kids come home from school and I give them their list of chores printed out on brown paper. Chores like "Swab the Deck!" and "Walk The Plank!" etc. Today is also the day we have fish n'chips, mmmmmm. I put a little note to each of them written in piratese with their nicknames on them. Jonah's happens to be "Ugly Frank Lofton" this year. Good stuff.
We'll finish off the evening with a treasure hunt that always leads to some type of treasure that we've hidden in this awesome authentic looking treasure chest I got at Cost Plus 3 years ago.
Now, fer the best parrrrrt...all day t'day mateys, ye must talk like a pirate! Grab yer loved ones smartly and have fun with it! Arghhh, I got much swabbin' t'take care of this foggy morn', so I must be sailin' on! Drink up me hearties yo ho!
P.S. - the title of this post is dedicated to Eric Nelson, who at the tender age of 3 made this little phrase up. We still really don't know where he got it from.

P.P.S.S. - If you say "Piratitude" it's nearly impossible to NOT sound like a pirate. Try it!
