The Suburban Sombrero

Me in hat
 

My mom gave me this hat “for when you take the kids to the pool this summer.”  This is classic behavior for my mom. She also renews my subscription to “Gourmet” magazine every year and bought me a creme brulee torch–she has a very optimistic view of who I am. As a mom should.  
(Read The “Earthquake Cake” if you want to understand why these are enormously hopeful gifts.)
I’m calling this hat The Suburban Sombrero, like the Urban Sombrero that sunk Elaine’s career at J. Peterman on Seinfeld.  
  I don’t know about you, but I can hardly make it though the day without a Seinfeld reference siddling its way in somewhere.  
Suz found this montage on YouTube of The Top 100 Seinfeld Quotes.   Suz will get upset if you don’t watch it.  Suz is happy you read her blog.
