Goosebumps

Goosebumps Brrr! It was cold, really cold. Dustin felt little bumps all over his skin. " What are they?" he asked his dad when he got home. “ That is a good question, ” said his dad. " Your skin is very interesting. Did you know that your skin has thousands of small holes in it?” “ Small holes in my skin! That can't be a good thing, " thought Dustin. “ Why is my skin covered with small holes?" he asked. “ If you get too hot, the holes open a little bit, and salty water comes out to cool you off, " explained Dad.

“ If you get too cold, the holes get small and you feel warmer. Sometimes, you get cold really fast. The holes close quickly and you get little bumps all over your skin. Those are goosebumps. Don't worry, it's normal. Every-one gets goosebumps. ” Dustin felt better. It's always good to know how your body works.
