Ahoy, me hearties! It be Easter!

I got this email from one of my friends about her son.

"I'm looking through my son's papers today, and there's a picture of a pirate ship with pirates, and a cross in the background. Lots of blood of course, and the pirates saying things like "walk the plank". So I asked him what it was, here's how it went.

Son: Oh, we had to draw a picture about Easter.

Me: Sooo... you drew pirates?

Son: Yeah. Those are Easter Pirates.

Me: Ahhh... and what did your teacher say about that?

Son: She said I couldn't draw pirates for Easter. But then I said, "Just because the Bible doesn't SAY there were pirates there, doesn't mean that there WEREN'T pirates there. Maybe they just forgot to mention them."

Me: *snort* Can't argue with that. What did your teacher say then?

Son: She said she couldn't argue with that either.

HAHA. Easter pirates. Awesome."

DUDE IS THAT NOT THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER???

If that was my son, I'd be so proud. Now all I can think about is how pirates would fit into Easter. I won't go into details, but it has a lot to do with Golden Eggs and a Swashbuckling Jesus.
