Veronica had long said pirates were too scary.

But yesterday she agreed to go on the pirates of the Caribbean. Ride. And then she wanted to do it again. And a third time

The second time while we were waiting to start I said. “Look at those people eating in the restaurant. Don’t they know there are pirates?”

She yells to them “Watch out! There’s pirates!”

No one paid any attention

She yelled it two more times. They needed to know!
