Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Did you take part in it?

At Peanut’s school the librarian was dressed as a pirate and had all kinds of pirate books out for the children to read. Her treasure chest was full of pirate goodies for those who read something to her, passed an AR test, looked at a picture book, or helped with some of the library chores.

I volunteered at the Book Fair again, so there were children with eye patches popping up saying, “Aaaarrrrgggghhhh” all over. I heard a few of the kidlets singing, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho” and I was told by one of the teachers that I had to “Walk the Plank”!

For a list of pirate speak, visit the Talk Like A Pirate Day blog. They explain how this day came about, provide links to event and have tons of photos, some which are quite funny. So if you forgot about today this year put this date on your calendar and bookmark this blog.  And next year, you can hang your Jolly Roger and act like an Old Salt.
