I know I've been writing a lot lately, but 'tis okay, right? Anywho- writing for no reason other than I'm angry at this lady outside. She's being a negligent mother. My office is directly in front of the big outdoor pool so at times 'people watching' can be amusing. Today it's irritating. She came out yesterday and dragged her 11-12 year old son out with her, putting no suncreen on him. She was sun bathing for THREE hours and we watched as her son's skin turned to darker, darker shades of red. (Keep in mind it was like 80 something yesterday) She's got that older, leathery, cancerous looking skin and apparently obssesses over UV rays. Today she ventured out again, bringing her fryed son with her, again applying no sunscreen. So they've been out there in the heat of the day for 1 1/2 hours so far and he doesn't look like he's having fun. It's just painful looking at her son and it makes me angry that he's being consequenced because of her obsession. It's kinda like cigarrette smoking. Why should one person be permitted to enjoy their bad habit at the expense of another. I just want to go out there and give her a peice of my mind...
2:30pm Update: So...I just found out that she's the nanny. Fire her! Fire her! FIRE HER!
Kay, I'm done :)

In her possible defense: you're supposed to put on sunscreen 1/2 hour before you need it, so maybe she put it on her son before they went outside. I always put it on Ellie and me before we go out, so I'm sure it looks like we don't wear it either (other than the greasy, sweaty sunscreen residue on our faces - I hate sunscreen, even though I wear it diligently). Or maybe the lady was just a bad nanny!
Poor kid - I hate being sunburned. Maybe that's why I'm a lovely shade of "ghastly white"...
