One of my students at Community High took it upon himself to buy me a birthday gift on behalf of the classroom. Nice gesture that, and really a nice guy overall (he's not in danger of flunking, either). He decided, after seeing my old L.L. Bean leather trekker hat (my Indy Jones hat!) that what I really needed was a new hat... ooookay. So, he asks me my hat size, and I warned him of the likely difficulty in finding one that'll fit me (yes, my head is hyoogenormous). Anyway. He finally presented it to me today in class.
I'm afraid that my reaction wasn't quite what he was expecting--and I'm sorry for shrieking with laughter as he handed it over.
Imagine if you will, me, wearing what I shall charitably call a black-leather "Greek fisherman's cap". However, that's not the first name that ran through my head... that honor goes to Leather Queen.
But, *ahem* the hat fits very nicely, and is of good-quality deer-skin. A pretty penny. I will have to wear it to class once or twice to assuage my guilty conscience and to please my student.
But I think I've a hat to lovingly wear to City Club, to scare my friends and confuse those who watch. *snicker*
