We were walking down the street in Holbox. We had arrived by ferry the day before and were just checking out the shops along the street. I was trailing behind my wife and my daughter when a stature of a pirate caught my eye. Of course!?!
I thought, 'cool and kept walking until my daughter yelled back at me.
"Papa, stop!"
Linda, my wife, said, "Don't turn around, just smile at the camera."
"Okay!" the cooperative simpleton agreed.
My daughter took my picture, then my wife asked, "Do you know why we took your picture?"
The simpleton answered with all the cleverness and perspicacity he knew he had, "I know there's a pirate behind me. You're taking a picture of me and the pirate!"
Duh!
Then my wife and my daughter burst out laughing and say,
"Turn around."
I did... oh... um... I mean, the simpleton did.
"What do you see?" My wife asks after a few silent seconds of me searching for something more interesting than a pirate.
Yeah. True story.
