Mosquitos

Dear Ask a Nanny,
What can I do about the mosquitos? They are always buzzing around me, biting and making noise. Even in the wintertime. And in the school cafeteria and at scout meetings. And in my bedroom. The locker room at school and when I go for piano lessons.
Yours truly,

Dear Jason,
I can see that you have attracted a determined band of followers. Think of them as very suffering souls who probably misbehaved in a former life and were sent back to live as a mosquito and haunt you because they failed to do well in school, didn't attend scout meetings or work hard at school. Take pity. They are living creatures and how you treat them will probably effect your next life.
Sincerely,
Ask A Nanny
