Poor Sean! I have a thing that when he is wearing clothing items with a hole, I have to insert finger and tear. Since said finger is reinforced with plastic and acrylic it can do some damage. He was quite put out that I ripped his sock today and sat in our family room bemoaning this. Then out of a shared sense of stubborness he decided to wear the sock and try his best to make me feel bad for "destroying" a perfectly good sock! ;)
