Is it strange that my son knows who Henry Morgan and Edward Teach are? I know I was pirate obsessed as a youth, but I don't think at four I could recite the "Piratical Top Ten" the way he can. Then again, he can also tell me the geography of the Caribbean, and is starting to grasp colonial history pretty well, at least on the level a four year can. So perhaps it is a good fascination after all.
I do hope he gets back to his knight fixation soon, as it gives me a great excuse to run through European history again.
