"A hilarious evenings read."
Our hero, Tim Bete, sits at the bar where he meets, Cap'n Billy "The Butcher" MacDougall. While Cap'n Billy regales him with stories of high sea adventure, and bilge rat extermination, Tim let's it slip that he's a writer. Our favorite diaperless father is offered the chance of a lifetime.
"I'm going to tell you how to raise kids to be pirates and you're going to put it all in a book."
While the offer doesn't immediately show great promise, Tim's alternative of walking the plank is a most effective stimulant to accept.
What ensues is a hilarious evenings read.
Leave it to Tim to convince me we missed a great opportunity to raise our kids as pirates. Thank goodness we now have grandchildren to correct the transgression.
Not having the minivan mentioned in Tim's book, we're making plans to convert the deck to a pirate schooner. I can't wait to see the look on Preacher's face the first time Joshua "Pink Eye" Barnes calls him a land lubber.
You'll love this funny take on child rearing. I just have one warning, set the rum aside as you read, especially if you are near any open flames. Spit-takes can be dangerous.
