The ‘Kromer’. It’s standard cold weather wear on the farm and ranch. Shades your eyes, keeps your ears warm, and ties down when the wind gets out of control yet still makes for stylish headwear. Will and I were doing chores a few days ago and I wondered aloud (within earshot of my lovely bride) why William looks so much better in his Kromer than I do in mine. Without hesitation she said, “Because you’ve got a little tiny Peanut.”
That’s not what I heard. I was taken aback. How could the size of one part of my anatomy so affect the fashionableness of another. And why in the last thirty years hadn’t she said something. I mean, I wear hats all the time. Do they all look funny because I have a….well…. you know….because, well, doggone it, I shouldn’t think that should make a bit of difference, and I started to stew about it right then and there.
She saw the consternation on my face. I blurted out, “Why didn’t you ever tell me that THAT (and I pointed down there) made my hat look bad?!?” She gave me the strangest look and then started laughing. “Peanut, Peanut, PEANUT! You’ve got a little head!”
I cleaned my ears thoroughly and will pay closer attention to others enunciation from now on. I promise.
