"Mom...you're like a hat nazi or something!"
This is what one of my older adult/child sons said to me a while back after I told his little sister that she was not allowed out of the house without her hat.
That is the rule around here...no hat, no going out.
Simple enough.
I could try explaining to her the effects of sun and future wrinkles or I tell her how the sun strains her eyes or even scare her with warnings of skin cancer.
No I have made if far simpler...you wear a hat because "I said so"
So I should not have been surprised that when I downloaded all the pics from our Oregon Coast trip this is what I found...
The whole gang in hats.
Which does make it a bit dicey when I want to see their cute little faces...
But at least those cute little faces will have fewer wrinkles someday...
Thanks to their mom...the 'Hat Nazi"
Sorry honey...too late for you!
Note: hubby was helping the kids build a rock dam across a little fresh water stream that ran down into the ocean, the kids spend more time working on this little project than they did jumping waves!
