Drezza would LOVE one of those rain hats for her bouffant - I'm not kidding. Funny story - many years ago, I got one from my mother-in-law in my Christmas bag (all the daughters-in-law did) and promptly passed it on to Drez who was thrilled to get it. Nothing liken a good "pantini", too. :=)
oh what a FUNctional christmas present, aunt jojo! i thought of Drez (of course!) when i saw this rain hat, but it looked too plain for her. i seem to remember her plastic bouffant hats to have piping or flowers on them. this was plain and cheap - soooo not like Drez :)
"aight then." classic!
i think he was happily dreaming of the potential sandwiches!
