how do you spend your extra time?" she asked.
"That is quite easy to answer," I said.
"In general, I spend my waking moments scratching my mosquito bites.
I know it's not the usual hobby.
However, I am kept busy trying not to show any favoritism. If I scratch the one on my right arm, then of course, I must scratch the one in the identical place on my left arm. Both hands need scratching at the same time, so I work on that for awhile before going to my legs (front and back), then on to my feet - left and right.
By the time I go through this routine, I have now acquired six new bites, which must be given equal attention.
And, then.....
oh, I'm so sorry, but I have to go right away...
I just got a new bite on the left side of my neck that requires my immediate attention."
