No fun in the sun
This afternoon a woman who works here part time came out of her office with all three of her kids to leave for the day. I don't like kids and therefore am horrible when it comes to judging their age by sight, but the oldest looked probably about 8 and the youngest was in a stroller so whatever that age is. Anyway, before going out the door, the woman stops all three of the kids and makes them put on sun hats. The weather outside today is sunny (high 60s maybe low 70s) but really not enough that you would think it makes sense for mandatory hats (if they ever are mandatory). However, the really weird part was that the hat she made the oldest girl wear was literally a bonnet. I am absolutely positive of this because not only did I do a double-take upon first seeing this but I managed to get a 360 degree look at it and all qualities of a bonnet were present. The elastic part that sits at the nape of the neck, the ties under the chin and the clearly defined curved bill that shields her face. This woman made her child wear a bonnet before going outside. Unless this child is currently obsessed with the Oregon Trail (a phase that I unfortunately managed to go through, although I never would have worn a bonnet in public)she is going to get her ass handed to her in school, if it isn't being handed to her already. If this isnt an indoor kid in the making, I dont know what is.
