# when I was a toddler,
my mum made me wear this sort of romper-suit. It had elasticated wrists and ankles and a tightly-fitting hood that just let your face show through (it'd shrunk in the wash so it was pretty much skin-tight). It was made of orange fur-fabric, but because it'd been slowly worn to death by my three older sisters, instead of being fluffy, it made me look like a matted, bobbly, fluorescent baby chimp.
