I had a bit of an awkward moment with a girl in my class today:
Girl (stroking vest): ooh, it’s so soft!
Me: Yeah, it’s rabbit fur. (pause) You’re not against fur or anything, are you?
Girl: Umm…well, yeah, kind of.
(uncomfortable silence)
Oops.
(Also: new shoes! I almost fell down a flight of stairs in them, but I’m learning.)
