Other more arduous tasks that a person can perform include open-eyed sneezing, licking one's own elbow, and removing your number from a telemarketers' list. Cara, having chosen an outfit, stared at herself in the mirror, twisting this way and that to see every angle. The dress did not fit perfectly. She could not decidewhy.
