Dads are the Original Hipsters

Your dad was into sailing before you were and he’s got the Captain’s hat to prove it. Riding his fixie of the sea, he sailed his boat like a fistfight and left black-eyed waves in his wake as a reminder to Poseidon that he was the true king of the depths. The Atlantic winds were his mistress, but your mom was the only real person who could raise his sail.

So hipsters, next time you’re shopping for lateral blue striped shirts and brushing up on your sea speak before an ocean bound voyage, remember this…

You’ll always just be a deckhand to the original master and commander.

Your dad wore a knit cap before you did. Whether you call it a homeless hat, hipster cap, or a magical Prancing Cera ironic head coverall, your dad donned it while adjusting the jib on his schooner. He sailed, listened to yacht rock and used his knot tying skills in the bedroom with your mom.

So hipsters, until you’ve reached the level of awesomeness where Poseidon sends mermaids as peace offerings to the boat you Captain, give the cap back to dad.
