Young Captain Mugs

Boy asks servant to prepare a long list of fishing bait

For his next book, he would write an epic novel of the sea.

"This is the most important election of our lifetime."

Teacher pointing to P,Q, on board: "OK class, which letter comes next? Redbeard, you should know this."

Build a Raft

For some reason, "The Road Less Travelled" GPS package never really caught on...

Upper class child with toy cruise ship.

'Does this get me a purple heart?'

Remote controlled car on a boat.

'When will I be old enough to have my own people?'

"Remember, we're the next generation so try not to blow it."

'I would love to run for class president, but I'm concerned about the vetting process. I once faked sleep during nap time in pre-school.'

"And the way you kids kick ass today will speak volumes about the leaders of tomorrow you will be."

Sportknitting

"I'll make a deal with you! If you stop singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat, I'll help you finish your requirements!"

'My parents wanted to take me to the dentist. I said I was big enough to go by myself.'

Boat to the Horizon.

'What do you mean give the boy a house key? He'll lose it, learn how to break in despite our sophisticated security system and be on his way to a life of crime.'

"Large destroyer on the horizon, captain."

Man struggling to row,

'I'm considering a run for class president. Do we have any skeletons in our closet I should first know about?'

'We are giving that kid too much pocket money.'

"He's gone on a lap of honour!"

Yachting.

"Come on Frank. I didn't mean to catch a bigger fish than you."

"They’re after a younger demographic."

"Land ahoy!"

'I'd be happy to give you an allowance for work you do around the house, but you'll get $5 a week, not this boat.'

Enlist now! K-9 Corps...'You're a cat!'

"It's fun, I guess. . . It's just not what I pictured when you asked if I wanted to go boating!"

"Spinning, reefing, tacking...they sound like a dress making circle."

'The bad news is, we only had enough money for one birthday present. . . the good news is that your mom has come up with a really fun way to see who gets it.'

"That's a popular destination for that couple... they were here last year at this time..."

'You should concentrate on your schoolwork for now - you'll have plenty of time to pick a running mate later.'

'Son, isn't it about time you went out and conquered a country of your own?'
