As any of you who know my husband know, he almost always wears a baseball hat. He used to have a white one with the BYU logo on it, but it got lost on a ride at Lagoon. Since then, he's worn his old work hat, tan, with BYU Vending written on it. This is a very old hat. It is falling apart. And it's kinda yucky (it's been a while since he's washed it).
We went to Wal*Mart tonight to get some stuff, and I finally remembered to get him a new hat. We got him a dark blue one with no logo, but he refuses to throw the old hat away. He wants to keep it because he's had it for a long time, which was my reasoning for why he should throw it away. He told me, however, that if I can throw it away without him noticing, that it would be fine. So, when he put it in the closet, I stood there waiting for him to leave so I could finally chuck the nasty thing. Unfortunately, he saw right through my indiscreet plan, so I just grabbed the hat. He won the ensuing struggle (he has long arms and tickled me, how can I defend against that?) and retook the prize. Now, he won't even wash it because he knows it will never make it to the soapy waters (I told him he could solve the problem by doing the laundry, but that didn't seem to be a viable alternative).
And so, I plot. Soon, very soon, I shall put a plan in motion that will finally see the end of that odious garment.
Here is a pic of Tyson wearing his old hat. He also hasn't shaved in months. We went to Wal*Mart to get a hair trimmer since his razors weren't meant for beards of this magnitude.
Here is a pic with his new hat and after his shave. I told him he should be hugging his old hat in the pic, but he didn't want to.

Dude! No more Paul Bunyan? Tyson, it's nice to finally see your face again! And Diane, THANK YOU for getting him to do this. Oh, one more thing Tyson, GIVE IT UP!!! It's led a good life, now let it be at peace. It's time for it to rest. I'm rooting for you Diane, and any dastardly plan you have for the poor, imprisoned hat...
My plan was a success! It went thus: I waited for him to go to sleep, then I took it and chucked it. R.I.P. Yucky old hat. I would say it led a good life, but I don't think being on Tyson's sweaty head qualifies as "good".
I just had to put what Tyson's mom emailed me: "Way to go, girl! It's nice to see that handsome face again! And congrats on putting the hat to it's final rest. It was time.
Love, Mom"
Poor Tyson. First his sister, then his own mother. He's actually more likely to get support from my family than his own.
Oh...you don't mess with a man's hat!
Hello T! I don't know who you are, but I *did* mess with his hat and I got away with it! Mwah ha ha ha ha!
