Headcoverings

Just the thought of them makes me laugh.  I really don't know why.  I guess because I think about ladies who think they need to wear them in church to be holy or pray or something.  We visted a church back in the day and I saw them with my very own eyes.  Kinda made me chuckle and secretly want to roll my eyes.

But today, another type of headcovering tickled my funnybone.  Oh, it's been an ongoing thing for me.  You see, at the pool I've tried to train my eyes to not look at... well, men.  For obvious and various reasons this isn't prudent for me.  So mostly I just do my laps and chat with my bud upon occasion.  This morning the headcovering swim caps were in full bloom as spring is obviously just around the corner.  (not that it feels like it or anything)

So first there were the matching turban-like ones, elderly husband and wife.  It's been awhile since I've seen these folks but I want to say that they are baby blue and resemble one of those old-school ice packs that the school nurse put on your head.  Or maybe like Dumb Donald's hat from the Fat Albert show.  This cute couple sports theirs like a rock star but I'll betcha they call theirs a 'bathing cap'.  No shame, I tell ya.

I observed another matching set today.  Just red, bright red.  See you from the other side of the pool, red.  Another elderly lady wore hers and her helper had the same.  Maybe it was so you could see 'em comin.  Well they did have their own lane but just in case.

Then there was the lady that just brought her shower cap, I think.  It was white with simple flowers.  Functionality was her aim.  Oh, and I can't forget the dude that just wore his rug... IN THE SWIMMING POOL.  Who was he kidding?  Guess he wasn't going under although the temptation crossed my mind.  But he would've lost his glasses.

And finally, there were the cool kids.  Theirs were multicolored and simple.  Guess it makes them swim faster.

Early on, my bud and I, discussed whether we should have a pool head covering.  We decided that we didn't want to swim that fast.  and I wasn't wearin nose clips either.
