We baby them, wear them, and refuse to share them because they represent us, what we do, and who we are inside. Our hats tell the world what is important to us and sometimes they actually provide shelter.
When you look at someone’s hat, you form a snap opinion right then about his life, his love, and his priorities. A hat represents more than a jacket or uniform ever did. When did you ever suggest anyone wore many jackets? The real fact is: a hat has nothing to do with the clothing on your head, but what you do.

Here are some examples of very big hats:
The parent hat also says “coach,” “chauffer,” “teacher,” “nurse,” “pillow,” “cheerleader,” “photographer,” “dancing partner,” “family calendar coordinator,” “acquisitions specialist,” “savings consultant,” “fixit specialist” and dedicated “booboo medicine” administrator.

The secretarial hat covers “schedule coordinator,” “supply consultant,” “receptionist,” “errand runner,” “transcriptionist,” “interpreter,” “ambassador,” “travel agent,” “file manager,” “bookkeeper,” “petty cash disbursement” and usually includes “sanitation engineer.”

The ministerial hat also says “teacher,” “preacher,” “coordinator,” “director,” “administrator,” “researcher,” “speech writer,” “therapist,” “marriage consultant,” “wedding planner,” “music director” and “person that I call in the middle of his family outing because my family member is ill.”

The school teacher hat includes that of “tutor,” “hall monitor,” “mediator,” “hero,” “villain,” “bringer of inspiration,” “tour guide,” “bathroom escort” and don’t forget the all important “germ finder booboo binder.”

These are but a few examples of how many hats one can wear at one time, but I’m sure you can think of more. Maybe you wear them all at one time. If you wear them well, maybe you could come to my house. I’d like to put on a fashion show.
