“Why are you having a bad day?”
“Because yesterday, last night, I was trying to wash my face. My mom was like, ‘Put lemon and baking powder together and then wash that and then scrub it on your nose and on your face.’ She said especially ‘do your nose’. I was scrubbing it with my hands and I don’t know why but I just started using my rag. I started scrubbing with my rag, and it started burning. I was like, ‘wait a second, this stuff hurts.’ It just burned and now, today, my nose just hurts and I’m kind of having a fever too, so yeah.”
