Today's Small Thought

Today, I wore a hat that I just recently bought. It is a big, black, kind of a fancy one, like for a madam. I knew that it's not really my type of hat, but it looked nice and elegant, so I bought it. When I was at a coffee shop, a lady came up to me and told me that she admires my hat. For a moment, I had to think about what she really meant. I looked at her like I couldn't hear her. She repeated it again. I smiled automatically even though I was still a bit confused. I'm at home now and still wondering if it was a sarcastic comment or an actual complement. Either way, it proved that my hat got somebody's attention. So I stopped thinking so much.. ^^:

[Notes: Terumi, make sure to pay attention to the ordering of adjectives. In English, we would describe size first, and then color. I'm not sure if it is different in Japanese. According this this website (http://www.edufind.com/english-grammar/ordering-multiple-adjectives/), the usual order is quantity, opinion, size, temperature, age, shape, color, origin, and then material. So actually, we should write in your notebook "big, fancy, and black".

Also, people commonly confuse sarcasm and irony, and I'm pretty confident that you meant to write 'sarcasm'.]
