the dangers of ice cream
Last night I was feeling like a sweet treat and even though it was frickin' freezing outside (and still is today) I thought I would eat some of the yummy oreo ice cream that has been sitting in the freezer. So I scooped some into a bowl and stuck the spoon in. I put that yummy spoonful into my mouth and when I went to pull the spoon back out, it ripped off the skin on my bottom lip!! OUCH!!! So I ran to the bathroom to look at the damage and found myself the new owner of a very bloody lip. I was so disappointed in the ice cream after that and I wished I hadn't had any. I put some lanolin on it, which is the best stuff ever for more reasons than one, and today the lip is looking much better and doesn't hurt anymore. A quick recovery at least. Who knew eating ice cream could be so dangerous! Let that be a warning to all of you, that a cold spoon can be like a metal flag pole and you shouldn't stick your tongue or lips on it!!!

wow. maybe ice cream containers should have "caution, cold" signs to match the McDonalds coffee "caution, hot" labels. ;)
that's super funny, claire. i have never had that happen with a spoon, but i have momentarily got my lip stuck to a cold fudgsicle (it melted and i was none the worse)
that sounds painful! As someone who has learnt all the secrets to lip maitenence, vitamin E does amazing things. You have to buy liquid-gel tablets, then pop the pill to get the vitamin E to ooze out. Overnight, it heals everything (it also works well for burns) Get better quick!
