What was an allergy? Well Selina knew that her mother had some allergies so she had the basic understanding of them, but beyond the basic understanding of them she was lacking. It was not like Selina could just whip out a dictionary definition like most students her age seemed to be able to do. In her best attempt at a definition in the vernacular, Selina rose her hand, "Ma'am, an allergy is when a person's body cannot have contact or ingest certain things specific to the person or else they would have a reaction, which could be sneezing, a runny nose and all of the other side affects that constitute an allergy." Merlin knew her mother was awful around the whole milk thing. Ah well, more ice cream for herself.
