My daughter calls me the other night and the conversation goes as follows:
Allie: Do you have any beanies?
Me: Pardon?
Allie: Do you have any beanies?
Me: Beanies?
Allie: Beanies. Yes.
Me: What are beanies?
Allie: You know…hats!
Me: Oh yah, I’ve got a few baseball caps.
Allie: NO, not baseball hats, winter hats!
Me: OH, you mean toque’s?
Allie: Okay whatever, do you have any I can borrow? I need one this weekend.
Me: Sure, stop by I’ve got some. (Allie is 17 and lives with her mom…)
Allie: Cool, I’ll be down a bit.
I hang up and being me I have to google beanies. Sure enough they are winter hats. Hmm. I dig out all my toques and decide it might be fun to text her a picture of them so I send this:
The “Beanies” wanted to say Hello. The decided to meditate since they were all together : )
About 5 minutes later she comes in my front door asking where they are. I’m laughing so hard I’ve got tears coming down my cheeks. I say, “shhh. ..they’re meditating ” and point to the kitchen. She says OMG, goes in and picks one out, and comes out shaking her head and smiling.
It’s GREAT being a dad and that’s my story of the Happy Beanies.
