I'm about to be attentive company

Postscript: I have just inherited a reprehensible hat. It's my grandmother's rain hat. My mother has no idea how old it is, except definitely older than me. For close to a quarter of a century, she hasn't been able to bring herself to throw it out and earlier this evening it was pouring torrentially. We both remember my grandmother looking good in it, but my mother thinks that's because my grandmother basically looked good. If I hadn't folded the brim up, I'd look like a mushroom.

The Baba Yaga School of Cronecraft and Gizzardry called to confirm the hat has a 4:30.

It can probably walk itself over.

I've wanted to drop a house on your landlord for yonks!

The thing is -- je vous poser a thingy, is exactly how my brain said it, yes I am waiting to answer work emails -- if your mother is your mother, and you both recall your grandmother looking good even when wearing a reprehensible hat of firm purpose... do you consider it is possible that, heritable looks being a thing, you might have a speck of li'l philosopher on your mirror?
