Uclers are signs
Flan buried her face into the pillow and quilt. It's at least 30 degrees but she didn't care. Today was a horrible day and she was "sweating it out" in bed. There were at least a million ulcers in her mouth. Yes, a million!The vitamin C pills her student's mom gave her isn't working. She'd rather have ulcers than pimples though.
"What's wrong with you?" D asked.
"Don't ask. Today is a HORRIBLE day. Sucky, sucky day. I am depressed." Flan wailed into her pillow. Mr Brown tapped his white paw on her shoulder; he mistook a mole for a fly.
"You haven't been drinking enough water, right?" D said matter-of-factly. "Well, at least the pimples are gone..."
Wow, he can read my mind! Flan continued to bury her face in the pillow. She told herself that tomorrow would be a better day. What's the point in drinking more water? It's not going to make the ulcers go away. Deep inside her, Flan knows what those signs are - they are warning signs that she hasn't been....doing enough.
