Private On-Call turns into a 2-hour request when a mom and her daughter slide into the corral and state that they would like to put the 4 y/o younger brother into a lesson since he's struggling with dad and set to begin pre-race team the next day. By strange fate of kismet they turn out to be folks I've taught several times in the past, so I get the lesson. I flip into Pirate King mode and the 4 y/o and I crush The Big Easy for the next 120 minutes. He questioned my pirate authenticity, however, since, according to him, all pirates only have one eye. Despite my double vision he listened to my silliness and skied strong.
