Santa Headware

At the end of our trip to Australia over the european summer, ( which you can read about it at http://gotlost-summer2009.blogspot.com/) my parents gave Lucia a present of a Santa Beanni... (for those of you who dont know, a beanni is a woollen piece of headware that you wear over the winter to keep your head warm).. Now while this isnt what most people would think of as being a traditional present to give someone to remember their visit to Australia, my parents thought it suitable for 3 reasons. 1) it was made in Australia, 2) When we were in Australia it was cold and we needed to keep warm, and 3) It is much colder in winter in Slovakia than in Australia and Lucia seemed to find the Australian winter cold enough...

Well tonight while we were out in the sleet and the rain on a cold windy Bratislava night, I noticed Lucia putting on the Santa beani. My parents would be glad to know that Lucia likes wearing it and it keeps her head very warm.. Then I started thinking how could this be? how could a beani made in Australia be more adequate for Slovak winter conditions than the local made headware... It cant just be because we are the most awesome people on the planet... :)... As I thought deeply about this subject, wearing out my bald spot... I came to a conclusion, The beani must have its own absorbtion field, it has somehow retained the warmth and heat of Australian summers inside it, and that means when Lucia puts the Santa on her head it is like putting her head into an Australian summer.. Can you imagine putting your head in a fridge right now? well it would be like the opposite, putting your head in an oven... As I finished increasing the size of my bald spot this idea was clear to me, Australian scientists, cotton growers and wool producers have somehow come together to manufacture the warmest beanies in the world, by capturing some of the Australian warmth and making sure it stays within the headware....
We are without doubt, amazing..
