We we so thrilled to have a pirate day at school. So thrilled in fact that I sent Scurvy Gums Bobby to school a week early dressed and ready to plunder. My husband took him and five minutes after he left I checked my email that reminded me that in fact pirate day was in a week!
Blimey! So I called my husband and told him to turn and grab the child who was running for the classroom and bring him home. My husband dropped the
buccaneer at his
Nana's which was closer to the school and I met him with the appropriate attire and some wet wipes.
The next Monday We suited up again, and added some dye to his hair to improve the look. This time he went all day. His Nana picked him up because I had a sick baby. When she brought him home, she informed me that in fact pirate day was on Friday. Sink me. This time I needed an
apology to go with my wet wipe.

But the third time is the charm and he went looking shipshape and better than ever to
retrieve his treasure. Luckily our beloved Mrs. Endicott is his teacher. And I had another experience notch on my motherhood belt. I am going to be so good at this parenthood thing by the time I am through.
