Ackee Ackee 1-2-3

18 June 2007

We took the kids to the park this weekend and they wanted to play hide and seek. I suggested that we played a game that we called "ackee ackee 1-2-3" when I was at school, but is more commonly know as kick the can. We ended up having a great time hiding behind trees and in leaves. Unfortunately when I returned home I realised my hiding out in long grass had resulted in numerous insect bites on my arms and face, and as I always react badly to insect bites, my face feels like it's ballooning even as we speak. Lifehacker had a few ideas as to how to conquer the itch, so I may have to get some toothpaste out this afternoon.
