So, umm.. I burned my mouth and don’t ask me how that happened because I’m going to tell you anyway 😅

I was making dinner last night and I got distracted for a few minutes with something else, forgetting my steel-ladle in the pan. When I realized that, I was like: “Okay, that’s going to be hot!”, so I wore a glove to lift it because that’s the smart thing to do, but what’s not the smart thing to do is lifting the ladle and then licking it, YES! I don’t know why my head went: “Lick it!” I don’t know why it didn’t register the fact that I was actually wearing a glove to not burn my hand and why it didn’t think that it could also be hot enough to burn my lips and my tongue, like really WHY?

That second of contact was so excruciatingly painful that I couldn’t even scream, I dropped the ladle of course, but then I kind of didn’t know what to do, I think I was trying to understand what just happened and how stupid I can be sometimes, really, who does that?! I spent last night trying to soothe the burn on my tongue (rinsing my mouth with cold water, eating ice and having lots and lots of banana milk) and I forgot my lips in the process. I woke up today to what looks like I got an upper-lip filler, I already have a resting duck-face (I’ve always been so very self-conscious about that!) and this just looks ridiculous. A certain someone doesn’t think it looks so bad, he says it actually looks pretty (pretty might not be the word he used 🙈) but he’s a fool and I told him that and he went: “Says the one with a burned mouth!”.. well, hard to argue with that!

I’m meeting my friends today and I’ve never been happier for wearing a mask before, if they see me like this the jokes they’ll make and the picture they’ll take (because, yes, they’ll definitely take pictures, I’m a sight to behold to be honest 😂), they’re just going to make fun of me for the rest of my life. Also, I know you’re all smarter than me and you’d probably never do that but I’m still going to say it .. NEVER DO THAT, no matter how tempting it might look.. just don’t!

    Hi. If your tongue and lips hurt a lot, you can try applying powdered sugar over them. I’ve heard it helps

    Oh no! I feel for you, having just burned my tongue on some bulgogi. Plus I know just what you’re saying about the masks, I fell on my face in June and had two black eyes and a bruise on my chin the size of a beard, I was never so glad to be wearing a mask. I hope the pain goes away soon! I’m sure I don’t know how people in kdramas eat food that is literally boiling at the table.

      I remember you told me about your fall back then and it still sounds just as bad, and really, going aound explaining how you got the brusies is itself a pain, so masks are a blessing in times like these!

      I still don’t get that.. I guess the food looks too delicious to wait!

      Thank you, bbstl!

      I don’t want to admit this.. but I am my biggest threat, I just tend to get hurt a lot.. and it’s not that I’m constantly thinking about and trying ways to avoid it (you know what they say about law of attraction!), but I still get hurt.. I don’t know how!

    Oh my gosH AZZO I know that feeling though. You know logically the thing is hot, but lizard brain takes over and you do the stupid anyway.
    Had a similar instance with the yeast milk I was trying to activate to make pizza… let’s just say milk and yeast ended up all over the kitchen…

      Also, imagining you and the yeast and milk incident gave me a good laugh 🤭
