I Can't Believe that Hat

Today was a beautiful day in Bainbridge, although...kind of breezy and cooler than it had been.  When I headed out this morning I decided to wear my Dr Seuss hat which is a funny green color with a tassel on top.  It's what I wear when I don't care how I look and I want to stay warm.  Most people would say today wasn't chilly at all. 

Ok, so, I didn't feel like putting on my wig today...it was just one of those days.  Plus, my Horton-Hears-A-Who-Hat helps to cover those unruly grays at my temple, that have been getting out of hand lately.  Even my wigs can't hide 'em.

Anyway, so I'm walking and I hear what I think is:  "I can't believe that hat!"  And, I start to chuckle to myself thinking "I can't believe someone is worried about my hat."

I turn to my left and there's a man putting stuff in his trunk because he's obviously upset about something and he says to me "those fish jumped up outta the water, grabbed my line and my pole and everything." 

I started laughing out loud because what he said and what I thought he said were two different things.  Plus, I'm trying to picture the fish running off with his gear.

Actually what he said was "I can't believe that happened!"   I sympathized with him and I kept walking and again I thought I heard him say..."I still can't believe that hat." 

I had to laugh out loud again, because, sometimes I am such a dweeb...Ahahahaha...!  

I've had to laugh about that several times today; including while  sitting at the library writing about it.  What a nut case...and it's almost impossible for me to suppress a gut-busting laugh.
