Son of Hat Man

[kevin_standlee]

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, my father admired my Jacaru hat, and because I buy several of them at a time due to shipping costs, I sent him one of my unworn ones as a present for Father's Day.

Except it turns out that I sent him two of them because I though there was only one hat left in reserve when in fact there were two.

Fortunately, my stepsister (who coincidentally moved to Fernley with her husband and son about a year ago) visited Dad last weekend. Yesterday, she returned the extra hat to me, and everything is now in its proper place again.

Just to be clear what happened. You had a box with two of the hats in it. You though it only contained one and sent the box to your Dad. On discovering you'd sent him two, he sent one back. Is that right?

Yes. The two hats in the box were so closely nested that I didn't realize that there were two of them in there.

I buy them three at a time to optimize shipping costs, but I though that I'd already used two of them when I had only used one.
