Alberto hits his brother on the back of the head

I was having dinner with Boyfriend's parents last night when we got onto the subject of pirates. "I love pirates!" I gushed. "My favorite character in my favorite book was a pirate. If I were a pirate, I would definitely wear an eye patch!"

Boyfriend's dad cleared his throat and told me that his mother wore an eye patch.

I didn't want to be out-shocked by a fifty-something-year-old so I looked him in the eye and asked if she was a pirate, as well.
