    Call me "Captain" NOT "Mommy"

    Question: My three-year-old pirate insists on calling me "Mommy" instead of "Captain." What can I do to gain my pirate's respect?

    Answer: Assuming you've threatened your pirate with marooning, perhaps you could compromise by creating a threatening pirate nickname that incorporates a motherly tone. A few that come to mind include:

    • Cut-throat Kitchen Crusader
    • Playground Pillager
    • Barbaric Broom-wielder
    Happy sailing and don't let the bilge rats bite,
