A few weeks ago, the local fire department was at Charlie's Hardware - just up the road from our house. Luke took Ethan there for a tour of the fire trucks. One of the volunteer firefighters showed him around the truck, and then suggested that as soon as Ethan was old enough, he should come on down and sign up to be a firefighter.
"Well," said my 5-year-old, "that's not really what I have planned."
"Oh?" questioned the firefighter. "What do you have planned?"
"I'm going to be a good pirate," Ethan said with all the confidence of someone who has no idea that his chosen profession, um, doesn't exist.

That's too funny! Poor Ethan, he's going to be devastated one of these days!
Well, hopefully by the time he's big enough to know there is no such thing as a good pirate, he'll be big enough not to care!

You never know when those pirates might make a comeback!

You know, it's the "good" pirate part that is improbable. And just FYI, a good pirate gets to do everything a bad pirate does, they just do it TO the bad pirates instead of other innocent seafarers. Arrgh, matey!
