This is Captain Hook (formally known as Ryder.) While he still insists on being in full cowboy attire when riding Blue Moon (wranglers, pearl snap, cowboy hat, boots, and chaps), his latest fascination is with pirates, and like his John Wayne moments, he insists on being in complete costume.
We get to walk the plank, look for buried treasure, and hunt crocodiles when we’re pirates. And although he never seemed to understand he was in grave danger, we actually have saved Riggin from a many of crocodile.
Rusty and Brandon thought the Pirate costume was pretty cool, until they noticed the earring. I was wondering which would mention it first, and like men do, they didn’t even notice it for at least an hour or two. We were eating supper at the table when Rusty finally said “What the heck is that? That ain’t going to work.”
This made Brandon pry his attention away from his steak and die laughing, asking, “Who the heck came up with that? Get that outta your ear, boy.”
They just don’t get it. Pirates are mean, manly characters, and yes, they wear an earring. Get over it.
After they tried getting him to put the little plastic, gold ring in his nose like a bucking bull, we gave up the pirate get-up and went back to being crazy Ryder.
Before I forget to mention, I would like to take this opportunity to let all of you know those two manly men who got freaked out by a plastic clip-on earring sat and watched The Bachelor for two hours. And do NOT let them tell you Kalli made them do it, because they were way more into it than they’ll ever admit. And of course, they both picked the blonde.
