Yesterday Robyn kidnapped me for a day of fun in the sun at Lake Goodwin. I boasted to her that I don't need sunblock because I really wanted to burn, seeing as how my skin hasn't seen sunlight like that in over two years. I even bragged about way back in the day, when my old step sister, Athena and our friend Bub used to lay on the roof of our old horse barn until our skin, literally, started sizzling. About an hour after laying out, she looked at me and commented, "Wow, Ace, you're starting to get really pink." After that, I allowed her to coat me with spray on sunblock. Lo and behold, she forgot to spray my legs. And I forgot to remind her.
After finally realizing that I was burnt to a crisp and ready to go home, we decided to go out for dinner with her guy friend, E. So then we had to run back to my house and change out of our swimsuits and into dinner attire. It was then that Angel saw my burn and covered me head to toe in aloe. As Angel, me and Robyn were running out the door for dinner, cousin Tina yelled at us, "Bring back a tomato!" I didn't heed her warning and we returned without a tomato. Soon after we got home, though, Angel realized, "Oh crap, we really need that damn tomato!" because my legs were sizzling. So I sent Angel to Fred Meyer to fetch me two tomatoes and ibuprofen. Then what ensued next was straight out of any comedy act. I sat on two towels, on the couch, while Angel and Tina each took half a tomato and slathered me all over. As they were both slathering me with tomatoes, I joked, "AAAHHHH, this is the kind of thing that only happens in my dreams".
Thanks guys, I owe you both big time!!
