No pink hat for me!
Today, we’re going to the Fisher Cats game. In honor of Mother’s Day, they are having a giveaway of pink Fisher Cats caps to the first 1,000 women who appear to be of child-bearing age. Well, it’s supposed to be for moms, but that’s the way they hand these things out….all women, whether they have kids in tow or not.
This whole pink baseball crap thing is lame and stupid. Yet another ASSumption that all women like pink. If they try to give me one, I won’t take it…I wouldn’t ever wear it, anyway. I only wear team gear in the REAL team colors. This basically means that I have to buy men’s stuph, but I’m already used to that. Most of the crap they sell for women is pink.
Right now I am wearing my Fisher Cats’ green & white shirt…those are the REAL team colors.
Apparently, this pink hat thing is sponsored by some day spa up in Manchester, and they are having giveaways where moms can enter to win spa treatments. That’s another thing they can keep. I don’t care if they can give me the best wrinkle cream, the best hair care, etc…I don’t like people fawning over me, touching me, and all. And that’s another ASSumption, that ALL women want to have spa treatments. I wouldn’t want that as a gift for my birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or any other day. There are much cooler gifts for me that people can spend their money on, like baseball tickets.
Father’s Day swag is always so much cooler. Last year, they gave away these spiffy sun visors at the Fisher Cats game. I told Mike to accept one…hey, he’s a CatDaddy, after all…because I wanted one.
Well, this CatMommy is going to leave all of the frou-frou pink girly crap right where it is. There are plenty who do want it, and they can have it. The Fisher Cats give out enough other free swag on other days, most of which is much cooler than stupid pink hats.
On June 1, we’ll be there early so I can get a Rico Petrocelli bobblehead. Now THAT is my idea of cool swag!
