Chicken Bumps?

Goose Bumps

In D3, we’re reading a little story book called “The Fairground Ghost“. In there, they talk about goose bumps.  So I asked my kids if there was a similar term in Korean.  Turns out there is.  In Korean, the term is Duk Sial (hope I have the spelling right), which literally means chicken bumps.  According to Wikipedia, the use of $BIRD skin/bumps is quite common.  In fact, the term in Dutch also uses chicken.

OK, OK…  I realize this is a pretty poor entry.  It’s been a rough few weeks for me, hence the lack of blogging.  I’m trying to get back on track.
