She gargled milk at me and then put her cup on her head and said, “Hat!”
That supports my theory that the hat was the first human invention.
Assuming the Savanna Theory has some merit, the first human inventor pulled up some grass, twisted it to make it stay together, and then plopped it on his (or her) head to temper the equatorial sun.
From that point, better ways of binding the straw would have developed, until one day the second invention came about, the berry-basket.
Just take off your hat, place the extra berries in it, and you have a convenient pocket or pouch to carry things.
You can see how this would progress to better and more useful devices in quick order.
Well, yes.
She’s right.
It would be a hat after that, yes.
Nothing to worry about at this point?
Maybe?
Unless the rest of the crew begin teaching her how to create horrible hat mounted devices.
