The Hat Incident

(A Response to Darren’s “The Glove Incident“)
Something similar happened to me. It actually happened to me more than once. I had my knitted hat from Roots since I was in Buffalo, NY. I wore it a lot during the winter cos it was really cold. When I got into my car, I’d take it off and put it on my lap. And twice, I totally forgot all about it, got off the car, walked home and realized two days later that I left it frozen to death on the driveway, covered by snow and hard as a stone. I actually walked past it once, thinking what the heck is that ugly thing (as it’d already become wet and black-ish) doing next to my car. I took it home and revived it with warm water and dryer, and did the same thing to it again a few weeks later.
And then there was last winter, I went to somewhere along central coast with my friends and I lost the hat at the parking lot of some information center, but I’m glad we were able to rescue it from bird and elephant seals. Now it’s lying happily on the carpet, ready to serve.
