The Mosquito Won
There she was minding her own business on Friday. The wrap up day for Bible Day Camp included a giant inflatable bouncer, rocket balloons, a guy from NASA, and pizza! The day was off to a great start...until...Teagan was outside ready to enter the bouncer when she got bitten by a mosquito on her eyelid.
This happens on an annual basis. Yet, this year she seemed to swell even more! This is what she and James do when they get a mosquito bite anywhere. It swells to 50x it's size and takes about 3-5 days to go away, demanding Benadryl around the clock, which seems to do no good anyway!
Besides the general unappealing look and occasional itch-I can't take the child anywhere for fear of someone calling the child protective services. I think in the summer I should just have them wear a sign that says: "Mosquitoes love me, and this is what happens when we meet." I mean any sensible person would think that if she was being beaten that it would be black and blue- but you just never know. Any other parent would probably rush their child to the ER based on the looks of it.
So, needless to say, my children (2 of them anyway) will never be campers or the out-doorsey type. All because of the fall.... I wonder if they'll exist in the Kingdom.
