Alice is in the bathtub. Her shoulders, neck, and tummy are covered in itchy pink spots.
Alice: Are they chicken pox?
Me: We don't think so. [ed. They're not.]
Alice: They're so itchy!
Me: I know.
Alice: I want to scratch them!
Me: I know.
Alice: I don't like them!
Me: I know.
She pauses to gaze at one on her tummy which looks particularly pink and irritated.
Alice: ...but they are a very pretty colour.
