I entered a contest yesterday by making a Christmas-related song about ConchTees.com

Woohoo, free stuff!

Congrats everyone, and thanks for entering!

So, as promised, the Pirate Costume Contest was judged by 3-year-olds.

Even though I work with 13 3-year-olds, I somehow expected their rationales to be a little more all-encompassing.

By popular vote, the winner of the kids division of the Pirate Costume Contest was this entry:

Because, “It like bird.” And I think they liked the colors. Of the feathers.

The Lady Buccaneer Pirate (Kieahna age 8,) with her Parrot (Mikaiya age 4)Submitted by Marci:

The winner in the adult pirate costume category just really confuses my ideas of what I thought kids would be drawn to…

The judging process went like this, “I am going to show you some pictures of pirates. Do you know what a pirate is?”

*nodding*

“Okay you tell me which picture you like the best. There are 4 grown up pirates.”

(this one, this one, this one…then the same ones again in reverse order).

“This one!”

“Why do you like this one?”

Because, “He strong”

“He a strong one”

And I think they like the hat, because the SAME HAT on the child entry was a VERY CLOSE SECOND.

Submitted by Heather:

And the random Pirate’s Booty Winner from the number generator is: Heather!
