"Daddy, I shot those Pirates"

(Beware of Pirates near Notre Dame)

When we were at the Disney Village waiting for the train to bring us to Paris, Bruin found a derringer that Kathy agreed he could have. It turned out to be a great entertainer for him. Somehow he came to realize that the gun is designed to fight Pirates. Kathy and I can't really remember how he came about this knowledge. I think we told him it was a pirate gun because it was from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" stuff that they were selling. Throughout our entire day of exploring Paris, Bruin kept whipping out his pistol to shoot "Pirates". He would shoot them in cars that drove by, he shot a couple of gypsies that were obviously pirates, but the main thing were the people in the tour boats that go up and down the river.Logan tried to join in the "Pirate Hunt" with Bruin. He used a little bottle of sanitizer gel, chasing after Bruin pointing it around and saying "Ban Ban Ban".
When we were going through this park, Bruin ran over picked a flower and gave it to Kathy, saying "I love you mommy!" And then he shot her. Stinkin' little boys...The absolute funniest part had to have been when we were in the zoo. Liberal, free thinking Parisian zoo keepers absolutely loved having our little American "Mohican" (as the Brits kept calling him due to his haircut) running through their zoo shooting their beloved endangered animals. I think I saw one girl shed a tear. He was really into it, like he was on a big hunt. Let's go shoot big deer daddy... I want to go shoot the elephant now... When the day was done, and we rode the train back to the hotel exhausted, Bruin reached down and completely on his own stuffed his gun in his sock. I have no idea how he learned that that is the proper place to put your gun when you're on a train, maybe he's learning too much from watching Disney movies.
