Goosebumps are tiny bumps that appear on your skin when you're cold or excited. Imagine your skin is like a blanket, and when it gets chilly, your body tries to keep warm by raising little hairs all over, these hairs make the skin look bumpy, just like goose feathers! That’s why it's called goosebumps.
Examples
- When you're outside on a cold day, your skin gets bumpy like goose feathers.
