tanning

[catnapper]

I was ssssoooooooo peeved this morning. I am taking Cameron to Hershey Park for his birthday on the 11th. I was showing him the rides he's tall enough to go on this year. He can't wait for all the roller coasters.

Anyway, I also told him how we'll need to be prepared with waterproof sunscreen. His answer? Mommy said I won't burn and don't need sunscreen because I need a tan. OMG..... can I kill the idiot he has for a mommy? I ranted about how mommy can tan because she is an adult but she should never make that choice for a child. I told him cancer is serious and if she wants skin cancer she can continue to tan..... but there is no way she should make the choice to tan foy a child! He knew grandmom was livid.

No suncreen?
No Hershey Park.

No Hershey Park.

Grandmom's comment, word for word. I told him even though mommy doesn't care about skin cancer, I do. I ranted a few minutes about her smoking and lung cancer too for good measure.

You could, if it comes up again, say "Sun screen isn't going to keep you from getting a tan at all, it just slows it down so you do not burn," as cancer is kinda hard for a child his age to understand. Sunburns HURT. That, a kid can understand!

He knows all about cancer because a couple family members passed away and he saw both mommy and her boyfriend already had "suspricous marks" removed already. He knows cancer is scary and makes a person very, very sick. He knows you can die from cancer.

I am still SO MAD at her. How dumb can a person be? Funny thing, she NOT dumb. She's just clueless and tries to bend the world to her will.
