An example of mummy and daddy humour as we're putting him to bed...
W: It's funny how he sometimes sleeps with one eye partly open.
Me: I swear he can see us.
W: Our little pirate.
Me: If he becomes a modern pirate, he might end up hijacking yachts and kidnapping rich older couples.
W: That's true. Where would we put them up?
Me: No one ever pays the ransom. We'd have to build a granny annexe.
W: (to baby) Let's draw a line at kidnapping eh?
Me: And hijacking.
W: That too.
Me: Stick to the nicer bits of pirating eh? Travelling and singing.
Clears throat and sings
Oh! The pirate alphabet is very very short,
N, O, P, Q, Arrr!
And the pirates sail in a great big boat, on the
Y, Z, A, B, Sea!
Like it?
W: Love it!
Little J smiles too.
