Nothing is ideal in every circumstance.

Yesterday, my wife was running around with the kids when the girls spotted something she couldn't resist buying for them.

You can't really tell, but the long flaps hanging off the sides end in mittens. 

Those hats are cute as the dickens, but I don't think I will let the girls wear them when we go out hiking in the woods.  I do not trust everyone in the woods with a gun to act as responsibly as I do.
