From from Olly, my grandson, while reading a bedtime story with his Mum. Olly is mad-keen on Pirate boats, (the Disney type, not the Somalian).
Olly pointed at a picture of a boat in his book and said, “I wonder who the captain is.”
When I told him Gramps is a captain he was quite impressed. Then he says, “So is Gramps a pirate?” I said no.
This was followed by, “does Gramps drive a pirate ship? Or is it a canoe?”
I told him it’s neither but it’s a really big blue and white ship. Then he asked “does he have a button on his captain’s hat “and then remarked“he didn’t like the idea of a blue and white ship and that he thinks a pink and purple one covered in chocolate sprinkles would be far better”.
I think Olly is on to something with the idea of a pink and purple ship.
