The kids returned last night from a long weekend with TheEx and TheWife. Upon walking through the door, TheEx pulled down Monkeyboy’s pants, pointed to his calf and asked, “What IS that?!”
MB’s calf was swollen to about twice it’s size due to a FUCK-OFF MASSIVE black fly bite. Holy crap, I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. I asked him if he was having any trouble breathing and he said no…just that it itched like crazy. I grabbed the After-Bite from the medicine cabinet and spread it all over his leg and gave him a dose of children’s Benedryl. TheEx was a bit dubious about it and thought we should take him to the emergency room.
He really is quite cute in a pathetic sort of way when he thinks he’s broken one of the kids.
That After-Bite Cream for kids is excellent stuff, by the way. This morning, the bite was down to a much less impressive size and, after another application of it, the bite is pretty much gone now.
