Simon and I had been playing pirates and sea monsters at the pool one day when he got tired of splashing around and asked me to tell him a story.That day, I made up a story on the spot, with a character I called, "Old Captain," and now, every day since, Simon and his brother Miles will say to me, "Tell me
