Pirates v. Vikings

Me: Dad, quick question: what’s better, pirates or vikings?

Dad: Easy. Vikings.

Me: Really? I can never decide.

Dad: Vikings. They’ve got the hats, the horns, the dragon ships.

Me: But pirate have hats, too. And the peg legs, and the rum, and the parrots, and the booty.

Dad: Vikings. No doubt about it.

Me: Mom, what about you? Pirates or vikings?

Mom: As a mother, I cannot answer that question.
