One of the added bonuses of this weekend was some special family time. My brother flew in from California and sister came with from the cities. My aunt and uncle are in town from Massachusetts. These are some of my favorite people and we don't see each other often enough.
Our families were staying in a hotel while in town. The check in process and unloading was underway. Even when things are going smoothly, checking this many people with small children is chaotic.
Uncle Mike went to drop some things in his room. Upon seeing the look on my face, he invited William to accompany him. (Big points awarded, points are redeemable for little to nothing). Later in the evening, Mike repeated the following conversion to me:
William: mike! Mike! I know a lot about pirates!!
Mike: really? Tell me 3 things you know about pirates.
William: sure! Pirates shiver timbers.
Mike: (tries not to laugh. You should never laugh in the face of a pirate expert) oh? Wow!
William : yeah. Sometimes the timbers get shivery.
Mike: I think it means that the ocean sometimes hits the boat and makes the boat timbers shiver.
William: (plowing on) the next thing is that the sails attach to masts and yardarms.
And the third thing is they speak their own language.
