you should. . .take a picture of it

It’s a really big bruise. You slipped on the ice and landed on the pavement. When it happened, you curled up in the fetal position and tried to keep yourself from bawling on the sidewalk. Now it looks as if someone’s been burning you with a hot iron. Take a picture with a friend’s cell phone, then send it to your mother. She’ll say, “oh Marcel!”

Your mother thinks you should take better care of yourself.
