Earlier this month, I was helping my mom in the kitchen baking cookies and doing the dishes. I stepped backwards away from the sink and bumped into my mom. She was holding a pan of cookies that had come out of the oven about half a second before. I didn’t really realize it was hot – I just bumped it. No biggie. A couple minutes later, I looked at it and it was raised, red around it, and, in the middle, a 2½ inch line of skin that was extremely white and really looked like it was melted plastic. I rubbed some fresh aloe vera on it (that stuff is amazing!). It’s still a scab, but very obvious that I’ll have a _puurrty_scar for forever. Makes for quite a boring story, eh?
