Posting here because I just had to share. It seems that my hat hobby is rubbing off on my 8 year old daughter. Yesterday we were at a big department store that does cary some hats (wool felt ,flat caps,and some straws). I had worn my Akubra Fed IV in and was looking at a newsboy cap. Another gent walks up and starts looking at the hats and notices that I am holding my Akubra while trying on a newsboy. He looks real hard at my hat and then starts looking on the shelf at the ones they have. The funny thing was that as he is pulling hats off to look at, my 8 year old is giving a lecture. "Thats a C-crown, thats a trilby or stingy brim, that has a floppy brim with a diamond crown etc etc"
I guess he did not find what he was looking for and walked off, but my daughter then had to pick up the rest of the hats that he did not and then took great pride in identifying them for me. That's my girl.
