The Hooded Odyssey

C ordered a zip-up hoodie in March.

She saw a woman wearing a warm-up suit in an airport and it was the nicest looking one she'd ever seen. She was able to get the brand and ordered a hoodie.

Slow-forward three months later. 

After multiple emails and doubts she would ever receive anything--including wondering if the entire thing wasn't some kind of elaborate scam--it finally arrived today. 

Before she tried it on, she handed it to me and I felt the fabric. No kidding, it was the softest, most comfortable hoodie I'd ever seen, and the zippers were top-quality.

Then she tried it on. 

C is only 5'1" (and 1/4", she claims, though I'm doubtful), she ordered a medium, and it swallowed her. She needed one of those emergency beacons like skiers use so the emergency rescue team can reach them if they're buried in the snow. 

Guess who now has the best hoodie they've ever owned that also fits perfectly? This guy.

"Should I order another one in small or extra-small?" she asked.

"Are you kidding me?" I said. "This has turned into the hoodie version of The Odyssey. You can't possibly return home without one."
