When I wear one, it entices the opposite sex with erotic suggestions which they interpret without confusion and which I have never figured out.

Without my hat as her radar, I would have absolutely no insight into her total inexplicability. ↗

I want my daughters to be beautiful, accomplished, and good; to be admired, loved and respected; to have a happy youth; to be well and wisely married; and to lead useful, pleasant lives, with as little care and sorrow to try them as God sees fit to send. ↗
