Dear Marshall,<\/p>\n
You have become very sensitive to mosquito bites. You had a few recently that you scratched to an oozing state. It pained me to see them. It was my punishment for allowing you to be bitten, though I don’t see how we could prevent every bite, with or without insect repellent, since the mosquitoes get in the house sometimes and bite you at night. There was sort of a bright side to the situation, though. You called your scratched bites “booboo bites,” which was utterly adorable. I’m glad that mosquito season is almost over, but I will miss that phrase.<\/p>\n
Love,<\/p>\n
