  • Matthias and his "Pirate Hat"

    Matthias comes up to me the other day w/ his new "pirate hat" on.  This pirate hat is a plastic net looking thing, w/ a metal clip in the front and a loop in the back with a tag on it.  I was busy with dinner and didn't really get a close look at it even though I wondered where it had come from. 

     

    When I finally got a closer look at it, I discovered that it was the plastic netting/handle for the ham that was purchased that morning that I had opened for lunch.  I cut it off and set it on the counter.  He must have picked it up and decided to wear it as a hat and I hadn't noticed.  If you look at the picture closely, you'll see the tag for the ham still on it.  It was a very ingenious way to make a hat.
