Were you aware that the 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate day?<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
The celebration was made up by a couple of men while playing tennis (<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span>their website<\/strong><\/em><\/a> explains it<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/font> not all child-safe but interesting) and has since gone round the world.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

The basic idea is that one should talk like a pirate for the entire day.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

Anything else; dressing like a pirate, raising a black flag and sailing round the neighborhood, hunting for buried treasure or making treasure maps etc is entirely optional, but fun!<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
I thought I should let you know about this little bit of craziness (and the fact that two men acting on a whim were able to create an entire new festival) in case you wanted to let a little pirate magic into your life.<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n


But of course!  \ud83d\ude42  Thanks Amelia!<\/p>\n

What fun!  I’ve been wanting to take part ever since I missed it last year but I had completely forgotten about it all over again.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The web site also has this page<\/a> just for the PG rated kid-friendly pirate stuff.  There are lesson plans, kid pirate lingo, games, links, a pirate song and more.<\/p>\n

Happy Saturday, Maties!
