I said:

<<<I think a bowler hat (bowler) is similar to an American Derby; it's a
short, hard, felt hat (usually black) with a rounded dome and an even brim
which turns up slightly at the edges.  The hat Dee described is a top hat,
opera hat or stovepipe, if IIR-Mary Poppins-C.>>>

Amanda replied:

<<<I think you're mistaken. I've seen Mary Poppins often enough in the past
three years to have every nuance and line memorized (sort of the way
non-parents often have Monty Python down), and George Banks does wear a
bowler.>>>

You're right, I was mistaken.  I must have been thinking of something else
entirely.

I will now write out the lyrics to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" 100
times.
