Word to the wise

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.

I learned about going shirtless in the sun many years ago, at a women's music festival. Man, did they get burnt.

Just be thankful she sweared on your eyeballs and nothing else :)

What? Big white handprints outlined in bright red sunburn?

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.
