Band on the Diaper Run

Making Baby Cereal is Hot

Whenever we go to restaurants on tour (frequent) we order warm water to mix up the baby cereal to feed June.

A few days ago, I ordered the warm water.  I waited.  I asked again.  He brought it finally and I grabbed the glass off of his tray.  He didn't say, "this is really hot" or anything.

Then, a few minutes later, it somehow got dumped on me.  It was not warm.  It was not hot.  It was scalding.

 

Here's my arm burn. I will spare you the leg picture. I mooed like a cow (my version of screaming when I'm in pain-I did that during childbirth too) and then I ran to the bathroom and decided that it hurt so bad I couldn't eat (unusual).


From now on, if we are out, June might have to eat cold baby cereal because I now have a fear of hot things on tables.

We used to do that too! Got warm water for the baby food that is.  I'm so sorry you paid such a price for someone being so inconsiderate.  That is third degree, seriously, be careful with it!  Take care.

I love that you moo instead of scream! I'm going to try to remember that the next time I spill something hot on myself (happens too often) or stub my toe (another source of profanity).  

I hope your burns heal quickly, you poor dear!

Excellent photographic portrayal of the injury!  Jason gets best supporting actor.

ALOE ALOE ALOE!!!  Find a plant, or steal a stalk from some one and wrap the entire leaf around your arm overnight.  It should help dramatically!
