If you are planning on spending the entire day laying large cement stones around the mother of all wading pools in the blazing sun without a shirt and the only person available to apply sunscreen to your back is a 6-year-old girl, have an adult double-check the application as soon as one is available, even if said girl swears to god, swears on her father's eyeballs, that she did a perfect job.

Posted by: joeri at June 16, 2003 04:11 PMdo we get a picture of the resulting burn?

Mary wins today's prize, a tube of Coppertone suntan lotion.
My back is bright purplish-red, with a large white X in the center, from the overalls I was wearing (green for garden work) with two white handprints left and right of the X.
