Got Burn?

So my burn is finally healing... for those of you who do not know, here's the story: I was cooking the other day, boiling cabbage and pealing the leaves off one at a time. It was a large head of cabbage and with an inch of boiling water in the pot, I was being fairly careful. As you might have guessed I wasn't as careful as I should have been and on one fatal turn I dropped the head into the boiling water and was splashed.



Okay, it really wasn't as bad as this picture that I stole from someone else, but it was about the size of the palm of your hand and was on the left side of my stomach. As I get splashed with the water, the burn is instantaneous and I can feel my skin begin to boil. Just then my wife hands me a towel. As if I just need to dry it off... ??? WTH? A towel? I started laughing. She could have handed me the burn ointment that was in the cupboard just to her right, but no, she hands me a towel! I was laughing so hard! Maybe get me some ice? A cold compress? A bag of frickin peas!?!? Anything but a towel!! The only thing that would have made it any better was if she had said, "Looks like you just got burned... hold on, I'll go get you a towel." HA!
