Charlie vs. The Mosquito

I wanted to show everyone what happens when Charlie gets bit by a mosquito.

Tom went to Norway for a week and we were here alone. It was very frustrating because Tom's cell phone wouldn't work over there so he could only call us using a calling card. We could never get ahold of him. One night, that will apparently go down in history, we went over to my friend Tonya's house to play. We were there for about 2 hours. I had spoken to Tom earlier in the afternoon and when we got off the phone he was supposedly going to bed, since it is 7 hours later there. So we went to Tonya's house, which I had told him we were doing. While we were there we played out in their backyard while my cell phone was in my purse inside since I wasn't expecting any emergency phone calls since it was the middle of the night in Norway! Anyway, I sprayed Charlie down with bug spray, even on his head, but I didn't spray his face. As you can see, he received three bites on his face which proceeded to gradually swell for the next few days until his one eye was almost shut! What's the deal with that?!? O.K., back to blaming Tom...so while we were outside I guess Tom decided at 2am Norway time to change his flight home. He wasn't able to change it himself with his calling card so he tried calling me to do it. When he couldn't get ahold of me he called everyone else we are related to and tried to get them to do it. The only people he got ahold of were Betsy and Mom Kiehl. He lead them to believe that he had not spoken to me in a long time and that he couldn't find me. Instead of explaining that he had just spoken to me and wasn't at all worried about he, he just wanted one of them to change his ticket. They both thought that I had been missing for days and that we were all laying dead somewhere! So I received several panicked phone messages and spent the rest of the evening resolving concerns and calming nerves. Needless to say, I was not happy with Tom!

Sorry about this long story, for those of you who didn't hear about it, it probably doesn't make a lot of since, but for the rest of you: this is my side! Ha!
