Ahoy Pirate Theodore and Pirate Timothy! Today Pirate Daddy was too busy for pirating. He says to me, "I had to throw one of me crew mates in the brig. Get him out of there and whip him into shape!" Pirate Daddy may not have been able to control him, but no one talks back to Pirate Shortbeard! I found the sorry lubber and brings him to the top of the ship.

"Now what be yer name lad?"

"Pirate Robert," he says.

"Well Robert, I need ya to make the ship look like the day she first set sail. Get to work painting up the place!"

Too bad the lad didn't know anything! I had to get everything ready for him!

I had to open the paint.

I had to mix it.

I even had to get Pirate Robert a brush! No wonder he got thrown in the brig, he don't know a thing about working on a ship as grand as mine!

Pirate Robert painted away, but he didn't do a very good job! I had to take control. "Smartly me matey, or I'll make you walk the plank!"

He tells me, he'd rather walk the plank than keep painting! I had help Pirate Robert, show the boy how a real pirate works!

It took hours, and we even had to do battle with the Kraken, but eventually the job was done.

I think Pirate Robert learned his lesson, and won't give Pirate Daddy any more trouble. As for meself, I think I found a new pirate friend today.

Piratefist over a job well done.
