“Dude, what’s on your head?”
“It’s a hat…what’s it look like?”
“Well…if you must know the sorting hat from Harry Potter. Take it off before someone sees you.”
“I can’t…”
“What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you hear me…it won’t come off. I woke up this morning and I was wearing the hat. I tried to pull it off…well… it’s stuck there.”
“Hold on babe. Let me see if I can pull it off.” She walked over and pulled on the hat. “It won’t come off…why?”
“Gloria, if I knew. I’d take it off.”
