Oh man, my parents do something stupid everyday.
Today, for instance. I'm temporarily staying with them, until August, and today being a holiday, they guilted me into going wherever they go. For the Fourth of July they wanted to go to this park to watch fireworks, and they informed me they were leaving nine hours before the fireworks display. I was all like, "You guys want to go sit in this park for NINE HOURS?!" And they said YES, WHY DO YOU THINK THIS IS WEIRD?
And the location was far away, so I didn't want to drive up seperately later, so I caved in and went with them. We get to this park, and there is no shade. So because of my parents, I sat for almost nine hours in the sun. Sometimes I walked over to this little store to get out of the sun, but it was the size of a bathroom so it's not like I could stay there. I even tried sitting in the shadow of the park bench. I read an entire book today.
I kept reapplying sunscreen too, knowing this was going to be bad. I put on as much as I could. But lo and behold, here I am, red as a smurfing tomato, and my parents, who were wearing more clothes than me and had hats and don't burn as easily as I do were like GEE YOU SURE GOT BURNT.
That's what happens when I'm stuck sitting in the sun for nine hours in the middle of a smurfing park with no shade! I should have just walked and walked until I came to a supermarket or something. There wasn't even anyone AT the park until eight o'clock at night!
Phew, got that off my chest. :)
