As Your Pirate Gets Older (The Teen Years and Beyond)
Here is a little rhyme for you:
Hush, Little Pirate (Hush, Little Baby)Hush, little pirate, don’t say a word.Captain’s gonna buy you a cutlass sword.And if that cutlass sword won’t slice,Captain’s gonna give you a rope to splice.And if that hemp rope gets all frayed,Captain’ll take you on a pirate raid.And if that pirate raid is foiled,Captain’s gonna give you cod-liver oil.And if that oil makes you upchuck,Captain’s gonna let the crew run amok.And when you run, if you fall down,Don’t go overboard or you’ll drown.
Parenting just doesn't get much better than that.
