Every once in a while, I used to get a rash of sorts, all across the back of my neck. I didn't know what it was exactly, but I knew where it was from.
It was halfway through a soccer game in the middle school gymnasium that a teacher noticed I was itching my neck. She approached me, observed my neck, assumed I had head lice and then sent me to the nurse.
The nurse inspected every inch of my hair. No lice. She stared at the spotted red bruise that stretched from ear to ear.
"Heat rash" she declared. "Heat rash" she told everyone. "Heat rash" she said to my mother on the phone.
But mom knew what it really was. And daddy never gave me a hickey again.
Why would a child have a hickey?
Must be heat rash.
