Duo of Big Lips

Some fat lipped kids showed up tonight --- one charming 9 year old Filipino girl and one sullen, rude 15 year old Latino boy.

Both kids with some awesome Angioedema of the lips. Lips only. Cutie Girl has had it three nights in a row, just at night. She looked like a duckbill platypus, her lips were so big. She kept taking out a pocket mirror and making faces at herself in it. Giving me a very detailed account of the event.

Rude Boy wore a face mask given to him at triage. Mortified to have to take it off in front of his mother and sister - quickly looking at the floor. Happens to him every year when he starts school. Goes away after a few weeks. This time he had enough – he wanted those lips back to normal before morning – his first day of school. This was absolutely uncool for the first day of highschool.

I told him women pay good money for lips like that. He was not amused.
