I thought I would be okay, but I wasn’t, and then I was

I took a trip to Antarctica.

I didn’t realize there would be so many penguins. I’m allergic to penguins. (I had thought when I got there, there would be just a few penguins and that I could avoid them and be okay.)

As a result I was coughing and sneezing repeatedly. Normally that would have drove me nuts, but I forgot to wear a coat and my allergic reactions kept me warm.
