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.
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!
