The Pirate Predicament


For the past several months, I've been walking around town looking like I could bellow out, "Raise the Jolly Roger!" and use words like "Landlubber," or "Ahoy!"

That's right. I've been a modern-day mommy pirate.

It's amazing to me that I can't feel my earring being pulled out of my ear and clattering on the floor in Hobby Lobby or Babies R Us, or that no one stops to say, "Excuse me, ma'am, but your baby just violently yanked your earring out of your ear and everyone except for you just heard it and saw it happen."

But, alas, no. What winds up happening is that at the end of the day when my husband gets home, he inevitably looks at me and asks, "Where's your other earring?"

Shiver me timbers! Ugh. Not again.

So yes, Pirate Mommy here, saying that if you see me out and about with only one silver hoop earring in, I do want you to know that I am perfectly aware of the fact that I look like a pirate. :)
