Pirates, Chips, and Salsa


Liam's favorite show right now is Imagination Movers, and he was watching an episode this morning involving a pirate.  Thinking about Liam and pirates reminded me of a cute little Liam story.  Just before the girls were born, Jon and I took Liam to El Chico, our local go-to Mexican-food favorite, for dinner.  While diving into his enchilada, Liam stopped dead in his tracks and soberly watched as a tall, middle-aged gentleman with a black eye-patch walked through the dining room before taking a seat in full view of our curious two-year-old.  After minutes of watching the man, Liam turned to Jon and said, “Daddy, what that pirate doin’?”  Jon looked at me, shrugged his shoulders, and stated, “Eating chips and salsa.”  Sometimes it’s just easier to go with it than explain the medical reasons behind an eye-patch.  So now Liam infers that all pirates eat chips and salsa, and whenever pirates are mentioned, will inquisitively pipe in, “He eatin’ chips and salsa, too?”
