CHAPTER 1
When I was born, I was almost bald. My mother tied a tiny green ribbon to my little puff of fuzz. This was my first hat.
My second hat was a woolen cap my grandmother knitted. It had flaps that covered my ears, and it came with a pair of matching booties.
At the beach, my bonnet kept the sun out of my eyes when I played in the sand.
When I was four, I liked wearing the velvet hat in my dress-up box. It had a veil that came down over my eyes.
Hats were fun, and they stood for special times in my life. One Easter, I wore a white straw boater with a blue ribbon around the brim. That was the year I found seventeen eggs and a chocolate bunny at the Easter egg hunt.
When I started to play tennis, I wore a hat with an eyeshade that kept the glare off my face.
The day I finally learned to swim, I wore a purple bathing cap.
At my first ball game, my father bought me a program, a hot dog with extra mustard, and a baseball hat.
