I remember a down-filled jacket I had always wanted (you know the large puffy-looking type).
One Christmas Santa brought it for me and I was thrilled until I looked at a label on the jacket that said "outerwear", which I mis-read as "underwear" and I refused to ever put that jacket on. I thought it was ridiculous that anyone would wear underwear outside their clothes to stay warm!
Children–beware of what you ask for… (and always read the tag twice!)
