"We all play different roles in our lives. We are parents, children, homeschoolers, basketball players, library trustees, mayors, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers ... And some of these roles we play, these hats we wear, are contradictory. Sometimes different hats pull you in different directions.
Try to remember what role you are playing at any given time. If you are a library trustee and also a town councillor, for example, the minute a library board meeting begins, you act as a trustee and not as a councillor. That's the hat you have on at that time.
When town council meets, that's when you are a councillor first.
And remember,"
[says Will as he hooks a cuspidor with his foot and pulls it close, spits, winks, reaches into the pickle barrel for a treat, and begins tuning his banjo]
"You'll look silly if you try to wear more than one hat at a time!"
