Ahoy! As noted in my iCal calendar and on the girls’ assignment notebooks for school, Today (9/19) is Talk Like a Pirate Day!.

Avast me hearties, we be learnin’ new lingo! We changed Facebook’s language to English (Pirate), learned small talk in Pirate, then had a second lesson about violent acts and threats, and listened to the TLAPD theme song.

Nobody wanted to walk the plank or swab the deck. Arrrr! And BG climbed the riggin’ to belay an order of keel-haulin’. She not be inclined to accede to me demands, arrr!

(quick tip – if you want to find out which of your friends has maintained a good sense of humor, start talking to them in Pirate on TLAPD and see how they respond. I was very happily surprised by my awesome friends!)
