Did I say............

.....'Girls, that sun is very hot'? (Reply: 'Yes mum')
.....'Girls, there is plenty of sunscreen'? ( Reply: 'We've got plenty on')




.....' Daughter dear, do you remember last time you were home and lay out you got burned'? 
(Reply:' Yes mum, but I'll be careful this time')
.....'Girls, I think it's time you went into  the shade'? (Reply: 'Not yet, we're fine')
.....'Girls, I really think it's time you got out of the sun'? (Reply: 'Mmmmm')


By late afternoon I realised the girls had indeed gone indoors...and I'm certain you can guess what they looked like (I was banned from taking a pic)....they were scarlet and sore. Let's remember both are 21years old and both know how they react to the sun, but yet always seem to think that 'this time' will be different!


To crown it all, when I said I had warned them on more than one occasion, DD informed me that it really was my fault, as I had let them fall asleep!! (I confess that at that point I had actually fallen asleep myself, but in the shade in another part of the garden!).


Anyway, today they have been much more sensible, so hopefully there won't be so much moaning and groaning as their bodies hit the beds tonight!


Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
