Last week I took my kids in for their yearly physical at the Pediatrician’s office. And to show what good a mom I am, it turns out when they typed into the computer they learned that my oldest hadn’t been there since 2007.  4 years, no check-up.  What?  He’s healthy….. don’t judge me. So anyways, they were all weighed and measured and the obligatory giggle was had over their growth or lack there of, and then they were poked and prodded a little and given a clean bill of health. Except when the Doctor is putting his stethoscope on Monster’s chest, he takes a closer look at his neck.  He rubs his hand over a spot a few times, then bends Monster’s head to look closer. At first, I’m a little puzzled.  Then I remember…. Monster has a white blotch of skin on his neck and shoulder by his collarbone on one side.  It’s been there…. for years I think.  It came around the wax spilling incident and in my head I think I thought that was the cause of it.  But the Doctor dismisses that idea when I say it since Monster never had any wound or injury from the wax that would cause a scar like that. Besides, it’s not a scar.  At least, as far as he can tell.  It’s a lack of pigment. Now, my kids are white.  WHITE.  Not like, yes, they are Caucasian white.  Like HOLY CRAP YOU LIGHT UP A ROOM WITH YOUR SKIN white.  Freckles doesn’t tan, his freckles connect.  Drama…
