As everyone probably knows I like to find out about people's quirks and then harrass them relentlessly. I don't know Uncle Bill very well so I am not comfortable enough to harrass him but am hoping to someday reach that level. Uncle Bill has a quirk where when he goes outside without sunglasses on and it is bright outside(basically Florida 362 days a year) he sneezes. I am proud to say I was reading a magazine that had a medical explanation for this phenomenon so I am diagnosing him. (My fee will be collected in mango margaritas and lobster at his house someday) Here is the info:
ACHOO syndrome is a generally benign condition characterized by sudden, uncontrollable sneezing after viewing a bright light.
Description
The ACHOO syndrome, standing for autosomal dominant compelling heliopthalmic outburst syndrome, is an inherited condition where a person will involuntarily sneeze after seeing a bright light. A person with this condition will sneeze multiple times, and in rare cases may sneeze 30-40 times. The syndrome is usually more intense if the person with the condition moves suddenly from darkness into an area with bright lights or sunlight.

Don't think that because she hasn't diagnosed you in public mom, that she hasn't recorded all of your quirks in her unforgetting brain and will out you someday!
