My husband has worn the same Indians hat since about the year 2000 - We were a family of 3 then - 4 if you count the hat that never left Justin's head.
Here is one of the first pictures taken with his (then new) hat
This is now - does this really skeeve you? (especially the ladies)- this hat has seen many a home improvement project...2 sheds, a finished basement or two, decks, landscaping, painting...LOTS of painting, as well as golf, cookouts, camping, bars, beer, so much beer...bowling, childbirth, childrearing, even a few baseball games. It has gotten so fragile (and SO gross & disgusting) that Justin is hesitant to put it on his head any more - thus having some standards . I don't know if hat years are like dog years (I suspect they are) but this ol'boy no longer gets around like he used to - takes a lot longer for him to recover from any projects - especially ones that involve Justin's sweaty head. So I have done what ANY loving, caring, hygiene monitoring wife would do - purchased a new, exact replica of the hat from Amazon.com with the sincere hope that he will SET THE OLD ONE ON FIRE!!
I have to admit though - part of me wants to buy one of those glass enclosed, antibacterial lined shadow boxes and hang it.
So - should we have a burning ceremony OR display it??
