a couple sunday's ago, we went to visit my uncle rikk in milaca. i told my mom that afternoon when we were picking wild raspberries in the field outside the house rikk just bought that a bug had bit me above the ear. she looked at it and didn't think much about it. on monday the side of my face started to swell. this is what it looked like at its worst. by WEDNESDAY it was almost back to normal.... almost.
i've had bad reactions to bug bites before. all last summer i had welts on my arms and legs. but i haven't had much more than a handfull this summer - and so my mom didn't think much about this one either. it seems, though, that bites on the head tend to swell considerably more than on other parts of the body. it looked pretty bad - to the point where i didn't even look like myself. but, that was about it. i didn't feel bad. it didn't hurt. i was pretty much the same old kid, i just didn't look like it!
it didn't stop me from mastering these new kid training chopsticks that my mom got for me. they are brilliant!

oh Silo... I shouldn't laugh but you look super funny with your face all swollen like that. I hope you don't get anymore of those crazy bug bites!
