Shotgun and Cinco were playing with a bunch of pirate stuff we brought home for Halloween costumes. Shotgun came in the dining room swinging his sword. He was all dressed up. MP said, “Hey it’s Sunday! So you better be Ammon with that sword and not Blackfoot.”
I whispered, “I think you mean Blackbeard! You’re not going for the Indian tribe are you??”
Pirates and Indian Tribal names can get really confusing for some people. History gets mixed up with movies and myths all the time. Especially at our house. Then there’s all those Star Wars and Star Trek civilizations. It’s just too much to keep up with sometimes.
Fortunately, MP came up with a scripture name that I was familiar with. I actually thought it was funny that he told him he’d better be Ammon (a great man from the scriptures), it being Sunday and all, but then Blackfoot came out of his mouth. That made it REALLY funny!
