#itched

2024-09-01

Tiga and her mom were sitting on a park bench, waiting for Tiga's dad. Tiga's mom was looking at her phone, and Tiga was rubbing the backs of her ankles on the lip of the bench. They #itched from a constellation of mosquito bites just above her sandal straps.

"Stop it. You're going to make them bleed," her mom said.

Tiga didn't stop. Dots of blood appeared at the center of each bite. Tiga touched each one. Ouch! That stung--which felt much better than the itching.
