Cute story
Last weekend I went to a nearby junior high school to root for Izumi's girls' volleyball team.  They're quite unbelievable, and I just heard recently that they won the city championship and are going on to the prefectural tournament.  Anyway, a couple of my students that had graduated last year were there to watch the games.  One had brought her little brother along, and I shook his hand, which I guess meant to him that we were friends for life.  So we played together for a little bit, throwing a ball, catching a ball, etc.  He forgot my name at one point and called me Jackson.  I told him that wasn't my name, and that he should try again.  He said Jack Sparrow next, and I told him my name was Jason and that Jack Sparrow was my brother.  He was very amazed and didn't doubt me for a second.  He asked me if we went on adventures, I said sometimes, and that I saw him every weekend.  He kept asking me lots of questions about my brother Jack Sparrow and I was starting to feel bad for lying to the little guy.  So we played a weird game the kid made up for a while.  I was starting to feel bad about lying, so I told him after our game that he misunderstood what I said earlier and that my brother was Jack Sparrow, but he's not the famous pirate; he's a lawyer.  He was very sad, but my conscience felt a little better.
