On our ride home from school, T.Puzzle complained of a mosquito bite on his elbow.
Full Speed shared his thoughts.
“I hope it wasn’t from a mosquito infected with West Nile or malaria.”
“What are those?,” asked poor, sweet T.Puzzle.
Before I had a chance to shut down Mr. Encyclopedia of Dangerous Facts, Full Speed went on to state how they are both deadly diseases and last year alone malaria killed nearly ONE MILLION people. I could see him in the rear view mirror as he gesticulated vigorously to bring his point home. He then leaned back in a just-terrified-my-little-brother, satisfied sort of way.
For T.Puzzle, mosquito bites are like having a big brother. They are persistent and a threat to your well-being.
