Sort of legal question

16 eh? Something tells me little sister is pulling big brother's chain.

Let's hope that's the only thing she's "pulling."

She has a habit of making weird career choices - currently, some kind of hybrid pirate rock star forensic detective.

She sounds like Buckaroo Banzai: rock star / brain surgeon / test pilot / adventurer. I might be missing a career in there.

Female pirates are not unknown to Western history, although they tended to skimp on hygeine and glamour, and often weren't found out to be women for a while. Discounting that little detail, Western Pirate society was amongst the most egalitarian ever, with records of African and female captains. (And sure, they probably killed a great number of Africans, females, and just about anything else that moved or looked like it might move if you shoved it hard enough, but they weren't shipmates when they killed them. Well, most of them weren't.)

Modern piracy, on the other hand, seems to have lost that ethos altogether, and isn't nearly as friendly towards... well, just about anyone. A career as a software pirate, while risking serious jail time, is probably much safer, on the whole.

If you want to be considered the coolest big brother ever, go to the local print shop and order her some business cards that say:

(Her Name)

Pirate/Rock Star/Forensic Detective
no treasure too big/no rock too hard/no case too tough​

Phone: 555-5555
Mobile: 555-5555
Fax: 555-5555



Put her real phone numbers there and she can give them out to her friends or family members who might need to get in touch with her.

I also recommend this for anybody else who has a good sense of humor. It is a relatively cheap gift (probably $20-$25) that they'll remember for years. Especially if you can think up a funny profession/tagline combo. How about:

Landscaper/Priest
Laying Sod for God​

A friend of mine and I have joked about doing this for years ever since we saw an actual card that was like:

Bob Jones

Knife Sharpening, Babysitting​

Awesome. That can replace the copy of Amadeus someone else bought for her on the imminent gift list.

This only reaffirms my opinion of you as one of the coolest boardmembers (and I haven't even gotten around to your storyhours yet...)

That's a terribly nice thing to say and I thank you for the compliment.

As for the Story Hours, if you're so inclined, read the "Samantha the Red" one first. It's shorter. And it has pictures!

If she wants danger, have her look into being the night manager at a 24-hr convenience store. Probably just as likely to get shot there as being a pirate, but you don't need to travel so far from friends and family.
