My dad as been the storyteller in my family forever. I always remember him telling stories around the fire at night after we had dinner. The story e and my brother always assked him to tell was the one of the babies and the pirates. This is about babies who give pirates urine when the pirates board their ship and ask for gold. It would have my brother and I laughing hysterically. My dad is a very good storyteller because he always gets into it. Even when we would have big family gatherings with my cousins, uncles and grandparents, he would be the storytelller.
This story has influenced me positively. In my family, nothing is ever taken to seriously. We joke and laugh all the time. This story turns a scary and intense scene with [pirates and capturing a ship, into a funny and loveable tale. My dad has always come up with or experienced things that seem crazy. But, when he tells them, I almost always believe him. A good storyteller must have a confidence and emotion when telling a story. This makes for not only a powerful story but also one that is well remembered. My dad has both of these which makes him a really good orater.
