proud father of a pirate

I had a very proud dad moment the other day. J, completely of his own volition, decided to make his very first pirate flag. The good old skull n' crossbones. The Jolly Roger. The plague of the Seven Seas. I am so happy I could bust.

J has a little plastic pirate ship and he decided to use the skull and crossbones on the sail as a template for his flag, pictured below. He then found a stick and asked me to help him tape the two together.

Shiver me timbers little buddy. For his next version I'll need to find him some black construction paper and some white paint.

Oh my gosh. You and I would have been neighborhood pals with Jackson if we'd all existed as kids at the same time.
