We were outside. My partner sees a 4 year old boy with a patch on one eye.
He growls at the kid and says..."Are you a pirate?".
The kid says....No, I jumped off the car and landed in the bushes and poked my eye".
Made our day...
My dad (who was wearing an eye patch after a minor procedure) and I were in Wally world one day and we pass by a kid and his mom. The kid in that voice kids use for questions, the one that can be heard a football field away, exclaims: “MOM! WHY IS THAT MAN WEARING AN EYE PATCH???” Mom is all like, “shhh shhh shhhh!”
Dad and I, poker-faced, keep walking towards them.
As we pass, I lean over to the kid and stage whisper, “He’s a retired pirate, arrr!”
