What to do with Talk Like a Pirate Day
I saw a very silly celebration day in my calendar. It is Talk Like a Pirate Day on the 19th of September. This day grabbed my attention because I have been speaking to more people lately - definitely not in pirate language. But we all need a sense of humour. What should we do with this?
Be inspired but also speak properly
I can’t convince myself to mess up my voice too much for this purpose. But the language? I like playing with words. All hand hoy! Translation: everybody, please help together.
Plan a pirate-themed event
Ok. It may be too late to arrange an elaborate pirate-themed gathering this year. Start planning now to then host one next year. Why not?
Relax and embody the confident pirate attitude
This day could simply remind us to adopt a laid-back attitude. I sometimes feel like I am on the outside of everything. This humorous day reminds me to stand out as a proud weird person. There’s value in the quirks.
