Those hats.
Those adorable, Team USA Olympics hats.
Love them. Nope, that isn't my beef. Come on, I am from Minnesota. I have as many hats as I have shoes. And moose are fun. So love the hats.
And that is my problem. I get that you, being all Ralph Lauren like you are, get to be kind of elitist.
I get it. And normally that is fine. You do your thing and I'll do my Old Navy/Target thing. I can handle it.
But the Olympics are the people's games. The games where the little guy, the Home Depot worker, the UPS delivery guy, they are the athletes (okay, aside from basketball and hockey, but we won't go there). Those guys and girls (the ones without the endorsements) don't wear $75 hats.
They are the games that bring the masses together.
So what do you do, you outfit them in fabulous hats. Hats that made me say, "I am going to have to go get me one of those hats."
And my husband, being the great husband he is, tried to go online yesterday to get them for us. I should rephrase that. He successfully went online. He mastered that quite some time ago.
But he was surprised to find that you are already out of stock. Really, didn't you anticipate that there might be just a bit of demand. Remember the Roots hats? Yeah. The ones they sold at Target for about $19.99 and both my kids still wear?
But not only are your hats out of stock, when they were in stock, they were $75 (and yes, there are plenty of people selling them on eBay for $200. No thank you). Seventy-five-are-you-flipping-kidding-me dollars.
For a cute moose hat.
That my kids might just lose next week. And if that didn't happen, then I am sure there would be another lice outbreak at school and we'd have to wash it in scalding hot water and ruin it because I can only imagine being $75 hats that they are dry clean only, too. But regardless.
Seventy-five-dollars.
Never mind. We'll stick with our Target hats. Thankyouverymuch.
