This is gross!

Peeling sunburned skin

Note: If you don't like gross things you may want to skip this post!


Pictured above is sunburned peeling skin. That was a source of delight for my kids when they were young. They loved to peel off the skin from a sunburn. The bigger the piece of skin they peeled off the more excited they got!

Once in a while when we were out in the sun for a long period of time one or more of us would get a sunburn. After a few days the burned skin would start to peel off. My kids would have a ton of fun peeling that skin off. They would get Ford, or whoever had the burn, down on the floor and the fun would begin. They had contests to see who could get the biggest piece of skin off in one piece. It sounds gross but they loved it!

The worse the burn the more fun they had. I guess it was a small price to pay for so much excitement and fun for the kids.

I think now they would gag at the idea of such a thing! But back then it was just their cup of tea, so to speak!
