Just Call Me "Parrot"

Tonight's dinnertime conversation included Sean's assessment of who should be whom in the boys' current favorite bedtime story book, "Percy and the Pirates".

Sean: "Mommy, you will be Willy Weevil."
Mommy: "OK."
Sean: "Brian will be Sam Scurvy."
Daddy: "Great!"
Sean: "Colin is Ronnie Rum."
Mommy: "That's super!"
Sean: "And I am Captain Crook!"
Daddy: "Good job buddy!"
Sean: "And Bailey is Percy Pike!"
Daddy (getting scared now): "Well Sean, then who am I?"
Sean: "Daddy, you are the parrot!"
(pause while Mommy holds back her laughter and Daddy puts on a sad face)
Daddy: "Thanks Sean."
