The day after AA1 (the first ant Attack), Dinesh’s mom gave me a small bottle of baby cologne. i was mortified, thinking this was her subtle way of letting me know that I smelled bad - this was something my own mother did on many visits home during my (ever-so-mildly) rebellious years when I was into Being Natural and refused to “smell like someone’s cheap idea of what a flower smells like!!”… my poor mother was brought to tears by this behavior, because these were the kinds of things that mattered to her… Poor dear… Anyway, I asked Dinesh about the cologne, and he laughed and reassured me that he had bought the cologne for me because that’s how they “treat’ itchy insect bites (the alcohol having a cooling effect).
Well, tonight , as I began my AA2-induced writhing contortions and tried to crawl out of my own skin, Rajika, D’s sister, sat me down in a chair and hoisted one and then the other of my legs onto her lap, and gave me the most amazing itch treatment ever! Not just rubbing the cologne on my legs but blowing on them all the while… cute overload when cousin Satchi and even 2 yr old Omal came over to add their lung power to the mix!!! Wow! Total Royal Treatment. Dinesh said “I think my family loves you more than they love me…!” Should anyone reading this ever get 22 ant bites at a time, be advised that the baby cologne treatment is the bomb… it’s all in the blowing… :)
