We've all been there: You're in the third grade. It's almost recess. All you want is to go play on the swing set, and your teachers just want to make you learn. Annoying, right? Kind of made you want to stage a rebellion, right?This week, 9-year-old Beatrice Delap of Greenwich, England decided that she was quite done paying attention to her teachers at Meridian Primary School and wrote a letter to Johnny Depp, currently shooting Pirates of the Caribbean 4 nearby.

The letter read: "Captain Jack Sparrow, At Meridian Primary School we are a bunch of budding young pirates and we are having a bit of trouble mutiny-ing against the teachers, and we'd love it if you could come and help. Beatrice Delap, aged nine, a budding pirate. PS, we have a plentiful supply of rum."

Maybe it was the sheer adorableness of 9-year-olds staging mutiny or maybe just the promise of rum (which was hopefully an empty one), but Johnny Depp took Beatrice's letter to heart and arrived last Thursday at Meridian Primary School in full Jack Sparrow regalia. Depp's security team only alerted the school 10 minutes before his arrival (surprise pirate attack!), and an onlooker reported the most "incredible screams of joy" as he entered the school.

In an interview with London Tonight, Beatrice reported, "He asked where I was in the audience. I put my hand up, and I got to go up, and he gave me a hug." She gushed, "He gave me a hug and he said, 'Maybe we shouldn't mutiny today 'cos there are police outside monitoring me.'" (Police have been a constant presence in South London as filming has gone on at the 18th-century Old Naval College, parts of which have been transformed to look like Gregorian London.)

Back at Meridian Primary, Beatrice reluctantly agreed that mutiny probably "wasn't a good idea." However, when Depp asked her if she was going to be a pirate someday she brightly answered, "Maybe! I sail."

Clearly, Brandeis, Beatrice is much smarter than all of us. Take her advice! The next time your professor assigns a paper you don't like or your midterms look like they'll last forever, we know who to write to! Who knows-maybe he'll bring the monkey with him!
