I spent all weekend working on ordering, making, and packaging gifts for the July reddit gift exchanges. This month I signed up for keychains, ninjas, and.... Pirates!!! To celebrate I'm bringing Peter the Pirate out to play.
Peter is a very important rubber duck. Long ago he was captain of an all duck pirate ship, called the Rubber Roger. Peter and his crew of scurvy scallywags sailed the world in search of the dearest treasure out there. They searched high and low, near and far. They pillaged and plundered, frightened and fought. They searched endlessly to no avail.
As their treasure chests filled up, their hearts felt more and more empty. These rubber rascals didn't need more gold or jewels. They had grown tired of terrorizing towns. Peter recognized his crews dismay, and set out to make it right. What each of his rubbery mateys was a place to settle down. A place with love and warmth. A family.
So the Rubber Roger set off on its last trip. At each port, Peter found the perfect family for a crew member or two, and he would send them on their way with a little gold to live a life of luxury. Finally, no one was left but Peter. What would he do? Where would he go?
Peter sailed on, in search of a new life for himself. Occasionally he would stop to stock up on supplies. That's how I found Peter, and I knew what he really need was a new crew. Now he lives happily with his own family and he hasn't missed pirate life once.
Okay. Maybe a little. But he's still happy. Look at that face!
