Love a Hat Like Dad

Love a Hat Like Dad

I’ve always been a hat guy.

Even back when I had hair, I wore hats all the time. I don’t even know that there was ever much of a reason for it - I’ve just always liked them. They’ve kind of always been part of me.

And now, apparently, you’re picking that up from me a little bit.

You love a hat. If we put one on you, you usually just leave it there like it belongs. You’ll run around, play, do whatever you’re doing, and never seem bothered by it. I love that.

There’s something really fun about seeing little pieces of yourself show up in your kid. Not the big important stuff necessarily - sometimes it’s just something as simple as liking hats.

And for the record, you look good in a hat, kid.

Maybe it runs in the family.

Love, Dad
