So...

Does this mean you'd like to be involved in shoe and guitar liberation? I could get you a fancy hat for it.

[veryfond]

I may need to see the fancy hat first.

[acaseofyou]

Well I'd let you pick the fancy hat.

You could get one of those really huge ones they wear at horse races and hide things in it.

[veryfond]

I could. And then I'd be ready if I ever got to go to the Kentucky Derby.

What is your fancy hat of choice?

[acaseofyou]

What, are you not already a season ticket holder for Derby times?

Usually I just put some flowers up there, but if we're going for full derby, I think I could manage this one.

I'm afraid not. Probably should be, though.

Oh, that's fun. What do you think of this one for me? If I can get it to balance on my head.

Oh my god.

Elia.

That hat is amazing. Is that the hat you want? Because we can make that work. It's a statement. It's many statements all at the same time.

[veryfond]

I feel that it is so ostentatious, everyone will remember it, and no one will remember the woman underneath.

[acaseofyou]

You'll be a complete mystery. Who is that woman, under the hat? They'll be blinded by it to the point they'll wonder if there was ever a woman there at all.

[veryfond]

I have no idea how you talk me into these things, but I feel I must experience life with this hat.

[acaseofyou]

I'm very convincing and have great ideas.

[veryfond]

You have interesting ideas. We'll see how well this one works out.

[acaseofyou]

You're using interesting like it means something other than good. When have my ideas ever been bad??

[veryfond]

Birdie, I can't in good conscience say that stealing a guitar is a "good" idea. Even if he deserves it and we are wearing amazing hats. I have to be a role model!

[acaseofyou]

Don't worry, I won't tell this or any other story like it to your kids until they're adults.

Or maybe teens, if they need to understand their mom is cool.

[veryfond]

Thank you for affirming my coolness.

[acaseofyou]

That's what karaoke and petty crime friends are for.

[veryfond]

What are rich mom friends for? Buying all the fancy hats?

[acaseofyou]

No, you're for fun, and ukulele lesson student providing.

Obviously.

[veryfond]

Ah, yes.

That was actually why I had children, to provide my future friend with students.

[acaseofyou]

Is that not why people have kids these days? It can't be the economy.

[veryfond]

I'm afraid most parents still worry about their children becoming musicians.

[acaseofyou]

I mean, they're not wrong. The industry is terrible if they get into it that way. That's why I operate fully independently.

Don't let your babies grow up to sign label contracts, I always say.

[veryfond]

How many times have you actually gotten to use that in casual conversation?

[acaseofyou]

Every time I get to rant about the industry, which is more often than you might think. Not usually in reference to actual babies, though.
