Speaking of mohair (we are since Sharkey brought it up, right?)......
When I was really young (pre-pubescent) my Mom bought me a mohair sweater. I'm not sure if she didn't know what it was made out of or if she was trying to kill me, but I was SO allergic to that thing!
I'm allergic to all animals with fur of any kind (yes, even dogs and cats) and when I'd wear that thing my asthma & my allergies would flare up big time!! I finally told my Mom that I couldn't wear the sweater anymore and to not take it personally.
My son, Alex, loves to read Calvin & Hobbes books. It drives him crazy how Calvin's dad is always telling him how unfortunate events "build character." So as unfair things happen to Alex, I'm always quick to remind him that "it builds character." It bugs the crap out of him.

I hope the sweater wasn't made of mohair.
