Being the mom of boys, pirates have an ongoing theme in our house. What is it about pirates?
I think my boys secretly like that pirates seem rebellious, bending the rules and living free on the oceans. As long as my “pirates” were able to come home at night, they loved the idea of the exciting lifestyle.

If you were a pirate for one day, what would you do?
Join our little hero and his sister, and share in their action packed day.
For any young child (or pig), there are few things more excruciating, more traumatic, more torturous than bath time.
This little pig is putting his hoof down. No. More. Baths.
But how can he possibly accomplish this? Well, by being someone else, of course.
After all, everyone knows that pirates, astronauts, and knights in shining armor — just to name a few — never, ever take baths. Now if only he can convince his mother…
Our favorite porcine-brother duo is back in another kid-friendly seashore adventure. Fergus and Dink love playing at the beach.
But when Dink wakes up from his nap in a crabby mood, it’s up to big brother Fergus to pull him out of it.
Only one thing will tame the tantrum – when Fergus invites Dink to play with his new pirate ship of sand, and gives him the starring role as pirate captain.
Sometimes it feels right to squint your eyes and act like a scurvy dog of a pirate.
With a little brotherly love, you might even forget what was so terrible in the first place…
