Went to my dad’s house the other day. He had a hat out. It was red and dented and crappy. I think he spent $1 on it.
“Dad,” I said, “what’s with the crappy hat?”
“What’s wrong with it?” he replied.
“Dad,” I said, “it’s crappy. It looks like you spent $1 on it.”
“Well …” he said.
My dad’s hats are a phenomenon to themselves. They’re plentiful, they’re odd, they fall into two categories.
A. Hats I’ve bought him as gifts …
B. Hats he purchased for $1 …
Oddly, the ones he wears most are the $1 specials.
I don’t get it.
From all your posts over time about self confidence, public opinion be damned, I’m surprised by your post. If he likes wearing a non descript hat, more power to him. If he wants to broadcast alliance with something, then he would choose one you gave him. I like the Orange $1 hat myself.
I like the JP’s Appliance hat way better than the Yankee’s cap. Then again I am your Dad’s age. Once your kids hit college you can get him some school hats. He will wear those.
Your hats are special he doesn’t want to wear them out.
I’d wear the Huguenots hat.
