Eric has peeling skin lately because he was badly sunburned over the fourth of July weekend. (Truth be told, so was I.) When my skin peels after a burn, it comes off in one giant sheet. I literally peeled off my entire left arm skin in almost one piece while screaming at Eric that he should get the camera so I can show my grandkids this awesomely gross event someday. He declined, compared it to the Hindenburg, and dry heaved a couple of times.
When he started peeling, his skin comes off in these little whispy flakes. And it is everywhere.
The day after he started peeling (aka molting) I went to work, sat down at my chair, and felt something fuse with my eye. A flake of sunburned skin got stuck on my clothes, and then floated up and SLOOP make a film over my eye. It took me an hour to get it all out of my eye.
When I got home, I decided to lie in wait for Eric to relax, unwind, and start reading. I stalked him from the bedroom, loofa in hand, and sprung at the first opportunity.
Apparently getting your sunburned skin loofa'd is painful and also like the Hindenburg because he just yelled "oh the humanity!" While I was loofaing.
I loved the historical references!
ReplyDeleteIf he's that squeamish about skin, what the hell's he gonna do when you have a baby? He's gonna be absolutely NO help!! I also love the historical references. I thought I was the only nerd that thought that way! Kindred spirits, unite!
ReplyDeleteHey that peeling wispy skin is RAW. Loofa on sunburn is just cruel.
ReplyDelete~ Someone who peels in little wispy skin flakes as well, but scrubs CAREFULLY with a pouf
