Alex labored this weekend to create the perfect chapeau, one that expresses his own personality while eliciting amusement from peers. What could be more fitting than a Platypus Hat? This work of fashion Alex created from a balloon creature that he taped to the remnants of a foldable frisbee. Both these objects were the gifts of a bank that opened over the weekend, a block from our Six Month House.
As I drove him to school this morning I watched as Alex note in silence that no one walking towards the place was wearing a hat. As he prepared to depart, he tucked the platypus under the seat, where no fellow student would glimpse the thing when he opened the door. Though he suggested I wear the hat at work today, the forlorn creature is sitting in my car at this very moment, in the cold of the university garage.
