The most endearing story was how I was on a visit to Disneyland in March 2007. Some friends and I had gone over to the Disney California Adventure side to the Winery in order to enjoy a glass of wine and relax in a less-crowded area. At one point I had to go to the restroom, but on the way there I ran into a family going in the opposite direction. A boy about 7 years old was with his mother, older sister and another adult female relative. Even at his age, the boy was enthralled as he spotted me and said—Hey Mom, a PIRATE! He stopped in his tracks and blurted out, “Can I look at you?” I stopped to oblige him and the kid looked me up and down, checking out all the pins and such on my jacket, hat, jewelry and what not. He looked up and he exclaimed, “Wow! I like THIS PART !” while patting his chest emphatically. His mother turned bright red and the family giggled, he being the only male present in the party. I had a hard time holding back the laughs as I said “Thank you” and his Mom led him away, not knowing what to say. I wanted to say, “Come back in 20 years for that!”, but tried to maintain my composure for the sake of the kid. I am sure his family is telling that story and punch line for posterity! Liberté Sparrow
